Just realized I didn't link those other videos... give me a sec.

EDIT: Okay, added those to the description. Not all of these projects have their own video, or even a public repo lol. But for those that do, well there they are.

[LcyYoutube]

If you are watching this video, you have to actually START!! GO GO GO! ♥

I love these kinds of videos, even though I'm 10 years into Softwared Development this stuff is always nice to have in mind.

[masterschlib]

Thank god, I've been saved by Jesus from tutorial hell

[BrunoAraujo-cs]

Amazing video, thank you. I was recently hired as a college professor teaching special topics in CS and I want to give a fun and useful project to my students next semester where they can implement what they'll learn (SDLC, scrum events, design patterns, software architecture, testing, CI/CD, and cloud computing) and I loved the last idea about doing something with OpenAI, so thank you for this video!

When I was learning to code, like taking a course of some kind, I've always been looking forward to the project tasks. The ones that give "loose instructions" and really let me plan out and implement my own ideas.
The ones with a predefined result are easy and comforting in the learning sense - something that lets you figure out an algorithm or a data structure - but that really only gets you so far, just like you mention.

[RuiPalmeira]

the most important project is having projects. remember that quote, everyone fighting in the comments saying X or Y is better than Z.

all of the stuff shown here will teach you "nitty gritty" stuff on programming (from beginner topics to more advanced ones), but what sets you apart when job hunting is having projects that will go directly in favor of the job you're applying to - for example, applying for backend development, have projects showcasing your skills (a simple CRUD API, and have something consume that, or whatever) - in whichever language you prefer, there's no harm in tying yourself to a "easier" language because the core vernacular will be the same for most, if not all.

I’ve actually understood everything I’ve learned pretty well so far….and how each of them are applied to certain types of programs I think the more I learn the better and I definitley dont feel like I’m in tutorial hell if anything I’m having a lot of fun … i love your videos and I watch them all the time for any insight you may have to give me :)

00:02 Building mini-games can be a challenging but valuable learning experience for programmers.
02:08 Building a tic tac toe game simplified the process and helped in understanding code logic and printing
04:07 Building different projects using different programming languages and algorithms can enhance programming skills and knowledge.
06:08 Start with a simple AI algorithm like a naive backtracking algorithm and experiment with other algorithms
08:11 Importance of having a GitHub profile and showcasing skills through a portfolio website
10:14 Building a portfolio website is not necessary, it just needs to showcase your work in your field.
12:18 Build a developer portfolio using Hostinger AI website builder.
14:16 Portfolio website template with customizable sections and integrations
16:31 Two fun AI projects utilizing artificial intelligence and robots.
18:20 Honorable mentions: Tournament Simulation and Chess AI Bot
20:19 Build a fun project that can be put on the GPT store to potentially make money or create a chat GPT plugin.

My 2 cents: Building unrelated with business and job focus stuff is fine if you're a fresh graduate or a CS student, and your goal is to get hired by a company willing to invest you into training. However, self-taught developers and generally people who're willing to go for a small company or a startup company should instead research their job market, select a stack and build stuff that will demonstrate to the manager or technical lead "hey, I'm business ready over here and I'm waiting for you".
Cool ideas though, but not stuff I'd add cause I'm one of those self-taughts.

[danielkofiboadu]

I just built a CRM for my own business and I learnt a lot . Building projects either from researching or following a tutorial will teach you more and hone your knowledge more than just reading

[scvnthorpe__]

A note on the GPT idea is that ideally you should be very focused in what you want from it. Or even look into other kinds of specialised NLP!
Being able to encapsulate that in a module will be excellent for changing course in future if competitor products or new NLP models come by which serve that specific use case better.

This was probably the quickest like Ive ever gave a channel i just found, that intro hit me hard

[franciszoechituwi]

Thanks for the Video, been inspired and also thanks for the Link to the Free Courses, I needed that!

[BIZZYKILL]

Bro I watched every single second, I love this guy. Thanks dad 🙏

[emmyemmye]

Sir, you've bombed me away with more ideas and inspiration than I can process through a couple clicks of your content. You've also very kindly made sure that I do my research by assigning plenty of homework with those learning resources. Whether to laugh or cry, I will decide after I attempt tackling the workload. But at the very least, you've rightfully claimed my subscription rights to your channel.

[evro]

Thanks forest ! 🤩
Very helpful indeed.

[rockNbrain]

great video bro! tks a lot! greetings from Brazil!!

Learning this stuff is just so hard these days. I feel like only by only understanding lower level programming and how computers work on a more fundemental level, did i finally start to understand how programming works at a higher level. Even ChatGPT is basically useless outside of the hands of someone who knows what theyre doing.
