A programmer who has a name, a reputation for ability, could go to the community and say, &ldquo;If people put up this much money, I will do the work.&rdquo; He does not have to do the work entirely himself. He can employ other programmers working with him, and this is how you would get started. Before you have a name, before you could go to the community on the strength of your own reputation, you could be working as an apprentice for other programmers. They raise the funds, they supervise the work, but by doing this, eventually you develop a reputation too, and then you can go and get clients.
