Projects may be the single best way to get hired. They can catch the eye of an interviewer, and they show you have the skills to do the job. If you do it right, it’s a great way to stand out.
But, the question so many people have: what do I build? So, I’m going to take you through 4 of my best project ideas. Each of these can be built in about a week. Cheers!

- Landing Page for a company (working on one) - A Game (I have 5 of them) - A Database (my next project I guess) - A web3 project (no idea tbh but I'll figure it out) I'll get back here in a month or so and update y'all on what happened.

Good ideas but I think projects should be centered around solving problems. Like a help desk app.

@PeterElbaum 2 жыл бұрын

Agree for the most part, but I think the best projects solve your own problem not just *a* problem. I personally would have no use for a help desk app :)

Sure, but it's a question of motivation. To me, it's more fun to work on something that's making my life better and also is a good portfolio project.

@@PeterElbaum I hear ya but most people who are relatively new to the field should be motivated by building just about anything with their new skills. It's better to build something that a company could see itself utilizing or has utilized.
