What kind of initiatives are they working on with LLMs?

@capybar whats funny?

i dont understand, do you want to be a ui developer or a engineer. You can literally copy and paste a screenshot of apples page to chatgpt to do it for you. Web development consultancy is dying and not as profitable as it was, might as well just find a full time job as a engineer

That’s the goal, but I wanna be good at UI because if your portolfio looks like shit recruiters won’t give a shut about your backend skills they’ll just skip

Actually recruiters mostly care about your school. It’s unlikely they even look at your portfolio unless you’re applying for a design position

dude............... recruiters are NOT looking at your portfolio

at BEST in rare cases a dev will look at it if they read an interesting project on your resume but basic CRUD MERN apps are not impressive at all... they know there's millions of tutorials online anyway, its way more competitive now

ur best bet is getting a degree + networking into an internship that converts to a full time offer after graduating

and if u do get the rare case of someone looking at your portfolio... u better know the ins and outs of everything you did on those projects

I’m already in college for the degree dawg but I have no networks. Market is also shit rn, I have contacts of 2-3 mid size company CEOs but idk if they’ll help me. One of them got me a internship at a big company but I couldn’t do it because of relocation

What about a machine learning project

What about a machine learning project

i'd argue that field is more difficult to break into since entry-level positions are very rare and way more competitive

if u want to compete with others in web development I would build a SAAS with actual customers

That’s what I’m trying to do, I’m building projects that I’ll actually deploy and promote, the initial ones will be fun projects that may get hella users (even one time users is fine.

And later I have a SaaS AI based business idea for which I’ll need MERN. I’m also taking a college class in Maxhine Learning it’ll help me with that
