Joining the scene is as easy as it ever was and can be fun and rewarding.

How to join? First you need to prove that you a not a "noob", they are not interested in people who need training. Build some demos, intros, etc, go to scene parties and release them, mix with other people there, if they like your stuff they'll introduce you and may even make you a trial member. Keep impressing them and have fun and you'll become a full time member.

Like always however, there are downsides, more responsibilities, some very late nights trying to get stuff working, some sleeping in the floor, etc. Can stretch relationships and day jobs when you are away for entire weekends (leave Friday, get back Monday) and spend until 5am coding and having to be at work for 9am.

Can be fun until you get to the point of having a family, then you really need to start settling down.
