How to flex as Web dev🧑‍💻

Hi there 👋! Today, I’ll share a few key things every web developer—or anyone in the software development field—should have. Bonus: you can totally flex these too!

Github Account

• Github is platform where you can store your code online, most of open-source development happens here. It’s like instagram for developers
• Get comfortable with GitHub because it’s widely used for code storage, version control, and release management
• Start uploading your projects to GitHub. It’s a great way for recruiters to see your skills and what you’re capable of building

Website💯

• Owning a personal website gives you an incredible edge over others
• It establishes your online presence and lets anyone explore your work in real time
• Build a portfolio site to showcase your projects, skills, and experience in one place

Build Side Projects

• Side projects are a fantastic way to learn and grow. They allow you to experiment and apply what you’ve learned at work or elsewhere
• Yes, you’ll face challenges while building, but overcoming them is where the real learning happens
• For example, I learned React’s Context API by building my side project, Savingspree
• And don’t forget—you can feature these side projects on your portfolio

Showcase your Work💼

• Don’t just stop at building—share your work! Platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram are perfect for this
• For instance, I shared my portfolio website in a contest, and it ended up getting featured in a YouTube video. That exposure even led to someone reaching out to me for freelance work
