    how do you get past the practical hurdles of recruiters
    and "X years work experience reqd" & background &
    credentials?
From my experience, when you do what you love the power is completely on your side. Not on the side of recruiters and employers.

Companies have been hunting me down and trying to convince me to work for them for years now. Every company craves people who build great stuff and are passionate about what they do.

Shift your focus from what you get to what you give. And everything will fall in place over time.
