    Thanks for the ideas! Yes I did say I was trying to learn WebDev, I want to have the knowledge of it so I don’t limit myself. I’m trying to prepare myself to take ANY developer job, but web development itself is the least interesting to me out of the three I mentioned.

    I have an Arduino I got for Xmas and haven’t opened yet, that’s a great idea. I’ll have to see what fun things I can do with it.

    I’m not looking for a development job, just an internship and projects to work so that I can improve. The experience is what I’m looking for I just don’t know how to get it. Thanks for all the advice, I will try to start coding projects more frequently and learning as much as I can.

    I’ve not made any projects for school yet. The biggest things I’ve made are Minecraft plugins. I used to go around to servers and make them plugins for $10-$20. I don’t have any of the code for them anymore.

    I made a maze game in Java years ago but I followed tutorials for that. Lastly, I recently made a personal website using HTML, CSS, and JS. That’s pretty much the extent of my personal projects so far, none really are good enough for a resume.

    I’m looking for any kind of developer job, but probably Java or C++. As for what specifically I’d be coding, I don’t know yet.

    I apologize for being vague, I just want to use this week to my advantage. By that I mean i’ll probably start working on a project, so I need to figure out what kind of projects would look good on a resume, and what I need to learn to code the project, etc. Right now I’m interested in making a 2D game in Java, but I wasn’t sure if that’s too “immature” for a resume

    I appreciate the advice, anything else you have would be great. I’m not super interested in web development, I want to focus on Java and C++. I’m only forcing myself to learn web development because I see so many jobs and internships for it, and I don’t want to limit myself in the future.

    If you were in my position and had 6 days off work to focus on this what would you do to get started?

    You’re right, I do need to find time and do projects. I’m just overwhelmed. I need to pick something and stick with it, do you have any suggestions? I took the next 6 days off work so I can regroup and get some school work/projects started. I had 50 hours last week so I wasn’t able to do anything then.

    I probably need to pick one area (Java, C++, web development) and build a project with it instead of trying to handle multiple things at once.

    Since I know Java I was considering looking up the documentation for LibGDX and following their tutorials to make a basic game, how’s that idea sound?

    I feel like this website probably skews a little older than Reddit, but figured I’d post anyway. I’m 22 years old, for anyone wondering.

    Hey everyone. I’m a Computer Science major who feels very behind. I don’t have any substantial projects to put on my resume. I look at basic open source stuff and can’t understand it.

    I’m currently attending WGU online, but also work full time so I don’t have a ton of free time to learn or work on side projects.

    Anyone have advice for a guy in my scenario? I ended up dropping out of college a couple times during COVID and now I’m just trying to get back on the right path.

    The language I know best is Java, but I’ve been trying to learn C++ and web development as well. Applied for internships but no luck so far, I think I need to make some better projects.

    I know it’s a styling choice but I found that article extremely annoying to try to read. Anyway, about the actual content: It’s trying too hard. It’s not that deep. Really, it’s not.

    Comparing the use of custom emojis and background colors for your profile to a caste system? What a stretch. Yes it’s intentionally designed to make you want to pay for it, that’s how every product or service to ever exist has been. If you feel “longing and worthlessness” because you see someone else with Discord Nitro, you should probably go ahead and get off the internet.

    I woke up today and told myself i’d find a Reddit alternative by the end of the day, and now I’m here.

    I think Lemmy is too confusing to ever get super popular, despite how many people try to explain to me how good decentralization is, it’s just not going to get big. Creating an account shouldn’t be such a hassle and the site shouldn’t be so much of a maze to navigate.
