Personal project

Hi all, for a quick background, I graduated from a Tier 1 college this year. My offer got deferred and finally revoked. I have joined a wfh company for 40% of the previous package. Work here is not very hectic and I definitely want to switch from here in a year or so. I think it's a good time for making a good personal project to learn new tech ( non circuital branch with not much dev experience). I was thinking of a full stack microservices based project in node as I have done a mern stack project before. I won't be able to make end to end from scratch. Can someone suggest a resource, for eg any course, from where I can get theoretical as well as implementation knowledge. Or, if any other suggestions that would be appreciated.

Hi devs, I’ve recently joined Accenture as an ASE (this is my 1st job) with a package of 4.6LPA. While I was searching for rents , I felt very demotivated as getting rents in Bangalore is so costly as well as the commute. It made me feel like I came here for a very minimal salary job and it’s making me worried about myself , as if will I be able to survive here well enough without having any trouble financially. Apparently this is also making me want to work hard to grow my salary as quickly as possible and land a perfect job(if that exists). Possibly a permanent WFH job while I go back to my hometown. I want to know from all the seniors in our dev community as in how should I excel up in my career as quickly as possible. How I should manage my time and expenses and how should I get landed onto a dream job. Current tech stack - MERN ( highly proficient ) , Web sockets , AWS

Hi, i am senior developer with 30 LPA, i am planing to switch as work is not exciting anymore what should be my realistic expectations? I have read post where people with same yoe get more money and other post where people get less money with same yoe.

I have full stack development experience and I still code. I work with a product company on healthcare domain. I want to build something solo as a side hustle. And with the tech knowledge I have acquired, I am 100% confident I can build it. I’ve already gathered some mobile app/platform ideas and have been working on a few of them. Doing some research as well. The thing I lack is a strategy and direction to reach prospective users. I have no idea about how startups operate. I have never been into freelancing either. I know nothing about regulations and law. I have only a limited knowledge about investment. My short term plan is to finish building some MVP features of the apps and publish them to Playstore/AppStore. (I’m sorry, I do not wish to reveal the ideas now) How to reach users 0-1, 1-10 and 10-100? How should I plan financially? Isn’t it possible to go solo? I have someone in the US who has agreed to help me in coding. But he has only 2 years of experience. One advantage is he can give me US insights. I don’t want to induct more members as no one is ready for commitment. Or people just back out even after committing to it. Btw, I am not active on social media. My network in the internet world with people isn’t great. I’m seeking advice from you guys on areas that I need to consider to make my app/platform grow. All this, is going to be side hustle.

How can I prove my expertise with backend? Any projects which I can make? (purely backend) i mean no ui, which are hard to sell and hard to prove that they work. I am thinking of doing some pet projects however all of them have js which I hate, given I prefer backend.

what are some projects or side hustles you have been working on besides your day job? I've been wanting to build some AI wrappers but can't find the time. is it possible to work on this on weekends/free time?

I am interested in specializing in fullstack development with modern tech stack, nextjs, prisma, postgresql, shadui. My current project has over a million loc, ancient tech stack though: java struts, weblogic. Build time takes around 2 hours and running it locally is a 8 point story task everytime. I have been trying my best to learn on the side. Have also built some projects but I need to be more fluent. Only my debugging skills and code navigation has improved and that too has peaked. I am now feeling stuck. Coming from office tired and then I feel guilty for not having learned on the side because I am mentally tired in office. Can anyone suggest how they dealt with this kind of problem or if my perspective is wrong

I am currently working as Backend Developer. I had decent projects but if we see today's trend they are just backend serving some APIs. I was thinking to learn generative AI and Lang chain. Can someone tell me some idea of project that I can build side by side for my resume. Also, how's the idea of learning about generative AI and langchain? Can someone share some roadmap if they already followed the path!!

I’ve been wanting to build something on my own, I have built and hosted a few apps. But I couldn’t scale as much as I would have liked. I have contemplated on running a startup but I don’t have any trusted team member to support me. Building software apps is my passion. I want take benefit of my passion to make money. Is freelancing a good option to do so? Share your experiences, if any. Would love to hear ideas on how I can convert my passion of building apps (both web app & mobile app) to make money. PS: I am at a full time job and I’m looking for a side hustle.

Hello. I've been facing Saturday blues over the past few weekends as I feel I've too much time left still after chilling for a considerable amount of time, attending a language class and doing my household chores. So, just reaching out to the community asking in case if you need a hand with any of the projects that you're building, I'll be glad to help in some way within my ability. Just for context, I'm a Frontend developer with 2.5 YOE and only doing this to kill time. In case if any of you have better ideas, do share as well. Thanks : )
