@arjay_mccandless: Make good personal projects. Generic projects you copied from a GitHub are near useless. Pick an interesting problem, and solve it. #coding #csmajors #softwareengineer

I have exactly what you are describing a real world project that has an app landing page hosted in two providers firestore for the app database and in azure for the backend of the ai agent included in the app, the app is on the play store with history of updates meanwhile i am building the 2nd and 3rd app that are related to the first app so it’s kinda system that needs 3 different apps and I will try to monetize and get users in, but the bad thing is that I don’t know the syntax of flutter or react or any code it’s written with I only understand the structure and the dataflow 😓

I have these three projects. First one is an AI integrated educational tutoring platform for my entrepreneur class second one is a mobile app idea in AI embedded Fitness tracking app, with counting calories intake etc last one is a all in one Mobile app car platform, where it can provide focused service in appointing car services, tracking location nearby EV charging station, keeping track of car repair services, from point a to b, etc.. based on these three🤙, maybe I can improved more in these three ?

How do you figure out what problems are worth spending time on with a side project? Every time I have an idea of something cool I start working on it only to find that it’s already been done plenty of times which is a little discouraging.

hey yeah! and while you're building unique, fun and never before done projects, go through two different books, a competitive coding track, and a Hackathon. maybe then you'll be good enough

I have a relatively big side project i have been working on the past year for my business, am scared to open source it because I don’t know of the code quality is good enough or might hurt my application for entry level SWE jobs, what do you think?

Projects without users are as good as calculator, Hello-world projects stocked in GitHub.
