Financially not worth it, the amount of time it takes to just figure out how to build/run the project + the time it takes to figure out the general architectures / file arborescence is too big.
But if someone marketed it as "a way to practice programming and move from high beginner to low intermediate skill on real world projects" it could work.
- oblib 4y agoI had a student ask me if he could work with me for free so I gave him a few tasks to do. He did great work on them. When he graduated he asked me for a letter of recommendation and I gladly wrote one for him. He used it to apply for a job at a big corporation and they put him to work fixing Y2k issues in their very old software. I've long since lost touch with him but have no doubt he's done well.
