This is the state the world is at.

Scammers are winners.

Don't give up to the facade just yet.

This is the creator of a product saying how good it is.

If you've worked anywhere professionally you know how every place has its problems, where people just lie constantly about things?

Yeah.

Keep at it and see where things go.

I'm also a dev a bit overwhelmed by all of this talk, at my job I've tried quite a few things and I'm still mostly just using copilot for auto complete and very small tasks that I review throughly, everything else is manually.

If this is indeed the future I also don't wanna be a part of it and will switch to another career, but all this talk seems to come only from the people who actually built these things.

My biggest appologies, a very bad move on my part. I'll pay more attention before any sort of accusation like this

Please just remove this, they are barely free, it's a freemium model not free. And generated with AI, useless.

Show HN: Pet Project that got me hired for my first web dev position

webdev1234568 — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 09:24:35 +0000

Hi all,

Was just browsing my old portfolio website and remembered this little game I made a few years ago.

Decided to share for anyone currently struggling to get their first web dev job.

Focusing on having a live website that is something a bit out of the ordinary and something you enjoyed doing goes a long way!

This was just a project to learn HTML canvas, and over some time I developed into a functional mini game.

This got me hired, because during the interview with the CTO for my first web dev job we talked mostly about personal projects and this was one of the ones that we talked about mostly.

Code is not much at all, a spaghetti mess I would say, but in the end it's a project thats working and live on the web for anyone to play.

I sent it for a few of my friends and family and most of them actually played for at least 10 minutes as they were then competing for who got the highest level.

It's not much at all I know, today chat GPT could probably create it in 5 minutes

For me the actual value is actually in having something you created yourself based off an idea, live on the web, mostly coherent and without obvious bugs or spelling errors and can actually be fun to play for a few minutes.

I was the same In high school.

2 weeks ago I hired a professor to help me learn math again so I can attend University computer science.

I can tell you, you can and should.

I'm totally addicted to math, I work as a programmer once I finish my work for the day I spend all my free time learning math again.

I'm still going over the very basics like 9 th grade stuff but I can see already it's going to go fine! I'm enjoying it so much!
