I am a developer and I have worked as an intern in the past, which wasn’t a big deal, but now I want to find new opportunities and it’s daunting, making programs to show off on GitHub is much easier than to, like, be overwhelmed by the calls, the resumes, the interviews, I almost feel like I am going to get blacklisted from a company if I do bad and that KILLS my motivation if I had any
It’s difficult to even start so I’ve just been procrastinating by telling myself I’ll make a resume after I’m done with a project, and I’m never done with a project, and if I do have a resume, I’m too scared, lazy, or can’t find a place to send it too
Maybe I should try finding a really lazy method, or maybe I should use a fake name to see how it goes, but I don’t feel much confident even then, is there any way to gamify this damned process? What a mess.
Next & Vue w/ Tailwind, Flutter and some software dev with Ruby and Python
I wouldnt really say that I’m specifically a web dev, mobile dev, backend or software dev, Ive been trying a lot, not much experience in any of them
Full stack is the way to go - at least to a degree such that you can understand and appreciate e2e designs, patterns, anti patterns, efficiencies, etc.
I’d say a good way to start would be to find a project you’re interested on GitHub and check it out, play with it, and if you find something you want to change, add, or remove, just jump right in and submit a PR!
I’ll share one of my projects I put together for a buddy’s makerspace startup that we’ve open sourced such that it can benefit from community involvement as they grow. It’s a fun little playground that’ll give you experience with a modernized Python full-stack application, designed to run on a raspberry pi, and containerized with Docker. Enjoy!
