Recruiters spend seconds on your site. Skip the generic "To-Do List" apps and build something that solves a real problem. A unique, well-documented project on GitHub proves you can think critically and see a product through to completion. Quality always beats quantity.

I landed my last role because of a niche automation tool I built for my local library. The recruiter spent the whole interview asking about my logic, not my tech stack.
Architecture and logic are the real challenges in development. AI is just a faster way to handle the repetitive parts. The human element of understanding business needs remains irreplaceable.
I’d much rather see one project where the dev handled edge cases and user feedback than five 'Weather Apps' that look exactly like the tutorial.

Transitioning into tech was hard until I deleted my bootcamp projects and replaced them with one app that solved a real pain point in my previous industry. It changed the game.
