Hi /wdg/, do you use your real name in your GitHub/GitLab/etc account? If not, at what point do you provide information about your real identity to potential employers or clients? If yes, would you feel comfortable sharing a project linked to that account here on /wdg/ if that could help another user?
Guys, can you give me some simple, but employer-pleasing project ideas that will get me hired? Currently studying some web dev courses in community college, but I'm tired of school and just want to build some personal projects and get hired ASAP.
I know HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Currently learning database stuff and will probably work with PostgreSQL. I am comfortable spinning up CentOS and run web servers on AWS, Google Compute, and Azure.
I'm also gonna learn React and incorporate that somehow.
Just need some project ideas that I can handle and finish within a months time. Maybe a project that leaves room for improvement so I can develop it over time as well.

Goes without saying, but I'm looking for a junior/entry-level web dev position.

holy shit the async chapter in Eloquent JavaScript is really fucking with my head. and I just cannot wrap my head about the code examples he gives in that chapter. here's a gem - function requestType(name, handler) { defineRequestType(name, (nest, content, source, callback) => { try { Promise.resolve(handler(nest, content, source)) .then(response => callback(null, response), failure => callback(failure)); } catch (exception) { callback(exception); } }); }
like jesus christ It reminds me of the first time I learned about pointers in C all those years ago.

I have a single page on gitpages but you can view source and see all my code. Granted they can't get to my CSS or JS files, but still makes me weird
