So we have three already:
- learning project (focus on learning)
- side project (focus on functionality)
- cv-enhancing project (focus on optics, what the original article was mostly about and against)
In my experience, side projects are by far the most fun. All of the learning projects I've done in the past had some goal to achieve, something I could show someone and feel proud. I find it difficult to learn just for the sake of learning. Perhaps this is why I struggled with schooling.
- ganafagol 6y agoA good interviewer easily figures out which type some side project is that a candidate lists on their resume. Just ask an appropriate probing question and you realize if they did this to learn something or to solve a problem they had or just to have something with javascript on their resume. It's almost counterproductive, if that's supposed to provide the basis for a "fluent in javascript" claim.
