Thanks for all the advice thus far ✌️

As for Linkedin. I have it. Everytime I see some job popup, qualified or not, I just copy paste my cover letter, tweak it here and there, attach my resume, and I feel like Its just a waste of time. I mean, I can essentially apply to 50 jobs a day. I get 0 feed back other than a successful application email. I feel like my job applications are being sent into some endless void. And I also noticed, theres a lot of fake fucking jobs and scammers. And it's not like I can call and follow up on my LinkedIn application because a) they're big companies x everything is automated. And 2) how would I even reference my application? It's. A tech company .

Don't even get me started on Upwork if I'm trying to do the freelance thing. I have literally lost money, sending proposals to jobs I'm absolutely qualified to so ..

@platsumme@platypus Summerhaze would look way better. Fact.

Shit like this really happens lmfao. Holy fuck I really hope I get to experience that myself

@xxzer0 😜

I think Boostrap 5 kind of doing a tailwind thing

This is a very !important rant.

@hashedram I'll continue to build what I enjoy then. Thanks for the advice and encouragement. 👌🙂

@Benutzername I actually kind of created my own CMS with airtable and React. Every field is editable from the client. So I could totally do that. Honestly, thanks a lot for the idea. I had only made a simple restaurant menu with it!

@Voxera awesome, I'm glad to hear that, thank you!

@AtuM Great what? Lmfao, you a bot?

@myss Thanks for the advice too. I'm definitely hearing a lot of suggesting leaning towards a good CV. Even if I don't have much to write down, I'ma start that tonight.

@myss I read about canvas cv's quite often from multiple resources. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm assuming know it's complete, it becomes a pdf or an image file? Idk

@BreakfastFood not to mention I'm on github, a s my local projects always use git so I understand version control. I also have recently learned to code my own blog via sanity.io. I am aware of the Jamstack but haven't deep diced yet. I'm really just seeking exposure? I guess? I really don't know the next step. The most real thing I have ever done was list my skills as a service on craigslist which cost me money instead lol.

@AleCx04 I really appreciate your feedback, so thanks a lot. I may have understood myself a bit. I would at least consider myself an intermediate. I have a website. I host my projects via hit stream to netlify. I even have a website on the blockchain. I have a portfolio with my best projects, showcasing my dev stack, certificates. I'm also proficient at html and css, use a pre-processor, can utilize gulp, use a parcel as a bundler for small websites, bootstrap more complicated projects with React. I would say my JavaScript level is also intermediate. I have the basics. I use constructors. Im proficient with ajax, fetch, data manipulation. Can visualize data via chart.js with data from an api and so forth. I just don't know how to show anyone 🙄 LOL. Like, I'm stuck. I'm all self taught and don't have a BA as a backup.

Change your grades to A's

@terriblecoder I hate the part of 'issues I have faced.' I never remember them? I don't record my problems in a logbook for later 👌 all great advice though, I'll will go through all my intermediate and noob projects.

@b2plane plan on learning Dart. What you think about that?

But what do I want to do?

We want to build website and web apps. As we progress towards towards more internet dependent world, I believe being a web developer is not fucked. Industry just requires more from them. I mean, progressive web apps will eventually best out native apps. It's seems that's the natural course we are heading. Native programs are old. I never seen a job posting for a native app developer. But instead jobs for electron, react native and angular native jobs.

But what do you think about react? I much prefer it over than angular, because I appreciate a library over a full fledged framework.

@terriblecoder thanks for your comment. Well I definitely know html, css and basics of JavaScript. I mean I can manipulate the Dom, and do a few fancy things.

I know react, I know why it works, the shadow Dom...etc.

I can build basic apps like todos, weather's apps, job listing app etc . With the library. And host it.
Are these sort of projects worth having on a portfolio and or an interview? They demonstrate abilities, bit I'm afraid they are too YouTube tutorial bullshit projects. So I'm not sure what to build. I can build more complicated projects, but I need to read guides or watch totirals to assist. So, they don't necessarily demonstrate skill.

Thanks ahead 😊

@24th-Dragon I used to host my projects on heroku. Then I learned about git hub pages. But as I dived deeper, I found netlify. Which is what I use now. The cli is so much intuitive.

What kind of projects are worth showing on a portfolio or interview? Are simply Todo apps, weather's apps suffice? As they demonstrate core principles. Or must I have projects more real world and much more technical?

@gronostaj will do, thanks!

@ggbot hey, thanks for your comment. I have heated from several YouTubers that the boring old weather, and Todo apps are bullshit. They won't get you anywhere. Is this true, or will these projects demonstrate your knowledge and abilities?

Because I can easily build front end Todo and weather using react just from knowledge.

Are these worth having on a portfolio? Or is it a MUST, that I have something more technical and real world?

Thanks ahead 👌

@stytches thanks for your comment, it helps keep me motivated! I'll take your suggestions seriously. 👌

@bob2517 hey thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it. It helps! I thought about going to an agency too. I think I'll give it a shot.

And for personal recommendations, I have none. I have no friends in this field at all, and I live alone on the city with my girlfriend. Opposite side of the state where my hometown is. It's just me, trying to learn web dev, and live out my life. But that being said, I am attending a small coding camp at the end of the month, which is more intimate, 15 people max, with a 5 hour in person workshop to practice what we learned. Hopefully, I meet people!

Hey do you have a portfolio !?

@HelloItsMe what resources did you use to study!? And do you have a portfolio?

Congrats. I'm almost in the same boat! How did you secure your job!

Gl on your new path 👌💪

@Marl3x I hear you and I believe you lol. I'm no one to take that away from you. 👌 It's just ironic almost that you love to get in front of lots of people and talk.

@sbiewald great advicem my first thought of a zip file is maybe the zip file directly on the git repo? Can Grant access that way? If the repo is private that is?

@FrodoSwaggins haha or fucking hipster libraries. Thanks for the luv 💚🔥😁🤪💪👌

@beegC0de hey that's something to think about. Thanks for the tip 👍👌
