Hey Krishna! I'd keep making projects because they are a very nice way to have a hands-on and complete understanding of the material you're trying to learn. I recommend creating something that goes outside of your comfort zone and forces you to learn something new.

- If you're new to websockets: realtime messaging app
- Haven't done payments?: use Stripe and make an e-commerce app
- Mobile development?: React Native / Flutter / Swift / Kotlin
- Embedded systems?: microcontrollers / ardduinos
- What abt AI? LangChain, Vector DBs, Hugging Face

Just pick something fresh and exciting!

this is actually not bad advice. Find something you want to accomplish for YOUR sake and find out if programming a computer can help you achieve it.

I'd say as a front-end developer try to build out your portfolio and include the projects that you've worked on and document the technologies you've used. If you don't have a tech background then I'd recommend getting your feet wet with some of the projects and see if the career path is right for you. 👍
I am in the middle of web development learning curve but ai is scaring. Should i continue to learn stuff ?
Golden-winged Warbler
yes, we still need people to tell the ai what it writes should do, coode or anything else. They are more like advanced auto complete than a developer or author
