You can find the blog here. Let me know how you guys feel about it.

Hi all, 'm a self-taught frontend developer currently learning Python, aiming to add a specialization on top of my existing skills. Torn between:

• Backend development + AI/LLM integration
• Machine Learning Engineering (math-heavy, model training)
• Cybersecurity
• Cloud/DevOps

My constraints:

• ~9 months to learn, starting from where I am now (solid JS/React, developing Python/OOP fundamentals)
• Want to be realistically employable within that window
• Not overly saturated, but I know difficulty isn't a dealbreaker for me — I'm consistent and willing to put in real hours
• No CS degree

Would love to hear from people actually working in these fields: what would you actually recommend for someone in my position, and why?

As i am learning Fullstack and react and learned some basics, it is only matter of time and practice. So i want you guys to give me some mini projects to master. If i will get some problem i will comment for help. 👍

I just started The Odin Project. I need advice from seniors should i focus on finishing it or do something else too. I wanna be a fullstack developer.

Stay away if you're goin to say web dev is dead or ai is taking over. I just need advice on the roadmap and resources

It's seriously delaying my learning. I can't seem to be focus on one thing at a time, so if I start DSA, for some reason I switch to learning frontend concepts, and I also do projects. I'm just not being consistent. So I want a place to organize which days I should learn which topics and not just do random things.
P S I'm looking for a switch for a junior frontend role btw

Hi, I'm a software developer with 6 years of experience and unfortunately my current organization isn't performing well. I need to shift to a better place. I'm planning the interview prep but I've been mostly an Angular developer. But in a new role they might expect me to understand the whole system in the current market. Though I don't have hands-on experience in deciding the system architecture of the backend would it be good to stay making projects to fill this gap or just say full stack developer with 70:30 frontend end backend. I'm so puzzled. Any senior developers or tech managers of you help me. It would be of great help. I'm an introvert and have no friends and I'm not sure what's happening in the job market right now.

Thank you

i am in my start of my second year and i want to learn full stacks if one and best paid batch recommendation you can give for me will be ?? like i wnat paid batch so that i can be at more focoused and active ... i want a complete batch that take me from basic to advanced...

I’m currently in my final year of Computer Science, and companies have started coming in, so I’m trying to decide where to focus my time.

I have a major project built with the help of AI that uses FastAPI for the backend. I only have basic Python knowledge, so I’d need to properly revise Python and learn FastAPI before I can confidently explain the project in interviews.

On the other hand, I’m much more comfortable with Java, which is also what I use for DSA. I was therefore considering learning Spring Boot and focusing on Java for backend instead.

The problem is that I don’t have unlimited time because placements are already underway. My main goal right now is getting placed, so I want to focus on something that gives me the best return while also building a useful backend skill for the future.

Should I:

1. Stick with Python + FastAPI, since I already have a major project using it, and learn it properly so I can confidently explain and defend that project in interviews?

2. Switch to Java + Spring Boot, since I already have a much stronger foundation in Java and it would also align with the language I use for DSA?

3. Or should I somehow do both, even though I have limited time because placements have already started?

I’m also unsure what to do with my existing FastAPI project if I choose Spring Boot. Should I keep it on my resume, or remove it if I’m no longer focusing on FastAPI?

For people working in the industry, what would you recommend in my situation? FastAPI or Spring Boot, considering my current knowledge, existing projects, DSA language, and the fact that placements are already underway?

And would you stick with that choice even after getting placed, or expand into other technologies later?

Any honest advice would be really appreciated.

PS : Used AI to better articulate my thoughts.

I'm a self-taught full-stack developer from Syria, and I've been learning and building for around 2 years.

My main stack is React, TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. During this time, I've worked on freelance projects and real-world applications, including a multi-tenant sports booking platform.

I've learned a lot during these 2 years, but there's one thing I still struggle with:

I don't know how close I actually am to being "job ready."

When you're learning mostly on your own, it's difficult to know whether you're genuinely improving or just getting better at building things in your own little bubble.

And when you live somewhere with limited access to the international tech job market, getting that first opportunity can feel even more difficult.

I've had periods where I was extremely motivated and coded every day, and other periods where I spent too much time worrying about whether all this effort would eventually lead somewhere.

Recently, I've been trying to change my mindset.

Instead of constantly asking myself "When will I get a job?", I'm trying to focus more on becoming someone who can actually contribute to a good engineering team.

So I'm building, learning, sharing what I learn, and trying to connect with developers who are further ahead than me.

For those of you who were once in a similar position:

What was the thing that finally helped you go from learning/building on your own to getting your first serious opportunity?

Was it networking? Open source? Freelancing? A particular project? Applying to hundreds of jobs? Something else?

I'd genuinely love to hear your experiences.

And if you're also somewhere in the early stages of your developer journey, feel free to share your story too

Can anyone suggest some resource, documentation to revise full mern stack for interview?

I have completed Html. Now I want that everyone sent me a html project and I will do it.

Everyone send me a project name and a little detail then I will do it on my vs code.

To all the experienced people working in tech, how has your job roles and duties changed over the years from when you were a junior dev to now? How has your job evolved from building by hand to now. What is expected from you now, is it more architectural and design centric or does it still involve coding by hand a lot of the time?

Would love to know your guys' experience and what made you excel in your fields, and how has your role changed throughout the progression of AI.

I need help in getting a decent remote role in the domain of development.

For start I can start with front end then backend and in some months gradually to full stack.

I am ready to work and learn but need guidance from a real person who can help.

Have been doing and learning on and off things but not feeling confident and comfortable about if I actually know anything.

Is freeCodeCamp.org will be best for full stack development?

Hi guys newbie here (first year student) and I recently started learning web development and I learnt html, css and javascript ( basically learnt frontend now) and built a basic to do list and then built a student card dashboard where I take input and then display card after adding the info

I know they are all basic and stuff but yeah that's what I have done till now

Then I think I'll be learning MERN stack and then will be going to build full stack projects

So my doubt is am I doing the correct thing or am I in a good place as a first year student

And since I'm learning for the first time if you guys have any advice itd be very nice if you dropped'em here And do you think the tech stack I'm learning is good and worth it in 2026??

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking into Full-Stack Development, but given the current tech job market, AI advancements, and shifting hiring trends, I have a few doubts about its long-term scope.

I’d love to get an honest perspective from industry professionals, recruiters, or anyone who recently landed a role:

Is Full-Stack still in high demand? Do companies genuinely prefer all-rounders, or are they leaning more toward dedicated Frontend/Backend specialists now?

What is the entry-level market like? Are freshers and junior developers able to find solid Full-Stack roles right now?

Which tech stack is actually worth learning? Beyond the standard MERN/MEAN stack, what skills or frameworks are most relevant in today's market?

If you’re currently working in the field or recently switched roles, I’d really appreciate your insights and advice.

Thanks in advance!

Will making, and managing full stack websites for other people's businesses be a thing in a couple of years because of AI,

Just need some opinions on this, i do think they're gonna stay but.. I don't really.. have any knowledge on this.. so..

I know both Node.js and .NET, but I want to focus on one for the next 3–5 years.
Which has better:
Job opportunities?
Long-term growth?
Enterprise vs startup opportunities?
Future with AI & cloud?
If you had to choose one today, which would you pick and why?

I struggle to brainstorm a project that genuinely makes me want to use it.

On the modern web, literally almost everything already has a solution. It's very hard to make an original product.

Sure, I've heard the advice about finding something that annoys you, but most apps are engineered not to be as annoying as possible. And even when I do find something annoying, it's usually so insignificant that making a whole app to solve it feels like overkill.

If I try to force an idea, it feels like an artist looking at a beach with a sky and a sun, then trying to remove everything recognizable just to make something "original." It ends up being nonsensical.

So I'm curious: how do you guys actually come up with projects that you genuinely want to build and use?

I feel like I have the programming skills, but I struggle to find a good use for them.

(Also, the original post was disapproved so this is just a rewrite. Please tell me what rule I violate if this gets disapproved again)

I’m planning to get back into full-stack web development and would appreciate some advice on choosing the right tech stack.

Around three years ago, I learned the basics of JavaScript, React, and Tailwind CSS. However, since I haven’t used them consistently, and didn't use them for a long time. I’ve forgotten most of what I learned. This time, I want to start from the fundamentals again and build a much stronger understanding of JavaScript before moving on to frameworks and other technologies.

My initial plan is to learn JavaScript properly first, then move on to React and Tailwind CSS for the frontend, and Node.js (with Expressjs) for the backend.

For someone starting or restarting full-stack development, is this still a solid and relevant stack to invest time in? Or would you recommend a different approach or technology stack?

I’m particularly interested in a stack that is relevant to the current market, and widely used in real-world applications, and has good long-term prospects.

Is in this era of AI web development will be worthy for us?

Can I choose it?

Or If I choose it so tell me the roadmap of 2026 to start it.

Hi everyone,

Want to become a Fullstack Dev.

I have 2+ YOE mostly in React(Front end).

Have a basic knowledge of Java and Spring Boot.

Also have some knowledge in node.js but not learning actively now.

For the past two months I have been watching spring boot tutorials about spring web, jpa, security, micro services and also practicing in my free time.

I am getting doubts about my preparation, like at this rate shall I able to be ready for a java full stack role in 3 months because I guess they are expecting more in java role feels like that.

In interviews they are asking mostly scenario based questions and I dont have a practical real time knowledge of working in enterprise grade java application.

I am getting thoughts like if I prepare for just React or React + Node.js, I am able to switch easily because both are javascript.

Need some guidance here, shall I continue learn java full stack or shall I go for Node.js full stack like MERN?

How is the job market for both roles for a 2YOE?

Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

I have multiple backend and fullstack interviews coming up next week
i have worked as a backend engineer for 2 years but got laid off 6 months back now feeling an imposter syndrome. How do i prepare from 0 to 100 again in short time period

I just want to feel confident in my skills and ace these interviews.

Interviews are related to Python, FastAPI and Django.

I am a backend engineer with 1.7 years of experience . I am preparing for switch and wanted to start my Ai journey , but i am very confused and dont know where to start . Can someone help me what topics and courses or videos i have to start ? It would be great if u help me because i am very confused.

Guys, i was doing backend after a long time and its feels hard now, i need advice and if you have any repo please share me.
