This is how I broke into my first full time dev job from tech support. I wrote a web page without any frameworks or anything that would upload images, remember the hashes for them, rotate them, and detect duplicates. I built it because I didn’t want my daughters pictures on Facebook but wanted to share images with family. Then I made a YouTube video with lots of pictures of pizza to demo it. The hardest part for sure as a dev learning only from my Google fu was the async stuff. But I doubled my income that year, so it was definitely worth it.
