I know this seems like a very obvious question. But I mean with regards to job searches. Even internships seem to require a variety of skills these days. I’m interested in both web development and just recently have considered data analysis. Should I work on tutorials and personal projects for a single skill or framework at a time? Or make small projects across a wide variety of things so I can put those skills on my resume?

    It’s probably easiest to build something fun or interesting, but any coding is good practice.

    Or look at job specs you’re interested in and try to build something based on that.

      I’m trying to do the job specs, but the net is just so wide. But yeah, it looks like personal projects is the way to go.

        “Build shit” is 100% the answer. Bonus points if you can finish it and put it up on GitHub or wherever. But not necessary.

        My go-to is always “pick something that already exists, and just remake it” because that gives you very concrete, achievable goals. Something as simple as dir.exe, or ls, or some other CLI tool.
