Okay so… I just entered my final year and ngl I’m lowkey panicking. I wasted my last 3 years doing basically nothing. I don’t know programming properly, never built a single real-world project, and now placements are around the corner.

Like fr, is there still any chance for me to pick up a skill, actually build stuff, and somehow get job-ready before it’s too late? Or should I just accept my fate lol.

Also random question (pls don’t roast me): is there even a platform where you can:

  • buy projects (so I can at least see how things work)
  • get mentorship/teaching from people who know their stuff
  • and later maybe even sell my own projects when I get better

Basically like a one-stop place to learn + build + get guidance. Does that even exist or am I just daydreaming here?

Any advice would be a lifesaver 🙏—

    True, if you survived 3 years without failing out, you’re not as hopeless as you think 😂. And yeah, GitHub is stacked with projects — problem is, it’s kinda overwhelming when you don’t know where to even start or what’s worth digging into.

    That’s why I keep thinking how useful it’d be if there was a space where stuff was a bit more structured — like projects you can actually pick up, tear down, get some guidance on, and then later flip into your own. Way less random than drowning in a million repos.
