I did this to become a programmer. No CS degree, learned to program by working on a personal project (music composition software), formed an LLC and sold the app as shareware back in the day when there was such a thing and people would pay $29.95 (!) for it. Still didn't make nearly enough to live on, got a real job with a resume that listed my own company as my first employment. Wasn't even dishonest about it, listed my role as "sole proprietor". Maybe the people reviewing my resume didn't know what a proprietor was.

TBF this was the '90s when Internet startups were hiring anything with a pulse.

Yeah but this demonstrates exceptional interest, merit, and success.
