- In this video, I'll show you a coding project that gives me an unfair advantage in the tech industry. Using technologies like Spring Boot, ReactJS, and PostgreSQL, I'll demonstrate how to create a full stack application that will impress any FAANG recruiter. I even had a Microsoft employee review the project, and I'll share everything he mentioned...

Okay, but see the problem with coming up with a project that solves a real problem and has a user base is....Well, you are basically a start up and if you are able to build such things and there's people interested in your software then you probably don't need a job. If you are at this level and are able to produce software that people want to use...why trade it for a job?
Can you do a video or playlist on how to make a project step by step like what we are doing why we are doing it, and how to think what to do on next step while building the project. Most of the project tutorials on UA-cam don't teach that
Really appreciate the video! Are you able to make a video covering the steps you took to deploy the website?
Haha it’s actually coming out tmw / Sunday so stay tuned!
Honestly the video was great but how long did it take to complete the project
Took me 4 weeks originally, but I’m continuously working on it as I’m attempting to integrate it with McGill enhanced
I’m really trying to come up with ideas
One idea I had a was an ai sports commentator where it could be a an ai voice over of someone maybe a celebrity or something and you upload a video of a basketball game and they commentate over it. Do you think that is a good idea for a resume project. Only thing is that it does not solve a real problem and would probs not have much of a user base
I think the technologies involved to solve it would be really good on your resume. But it’s something you’d struggle to host online somewhere for sure
@@SWErikCodes do you think I should still try to do it? I’m really trying to think of a bigger project to do for the rest of summer
@fm7018 I think it’s always better to just get started and do it. Besides, any AI project will stand out on your resume!
What resources did you use to learn PostgreSQL???
love the video
I honestly learned it in university, and gained hands on experience by following a spring boot + PostgreSQL tutorial by amigscode. I’m trying to drop a video (soon 🤞) on this so stay tuned!
Just use it
so i am in the middle of doing 2 projects which are good, one is with aws and another one is a bot with python the first one contains other frameworks so even tho these are for specific jobs but can the uniqueness or the depth of projects help get other jobs in tech where where not necessarily same tech stacks used but maybe transferrable. Also nice chain where you get it from?
Hey Erik, I might have 2 questions from you to ask:
1. Where did you learn Spring boot ? what was your roadmap ?
2. why don't you go with mobile instead web ?
1. I learned spring boot both on UA-cam through amigscodes courses and in my university classes. I started with Java, then simple CRUD applications and kept building and scaling my knowledge
2. Honestly just personal preference (although I’m currently learning react native for mobile dev as well)
@@SWErikCodes I know Flutter | Kotlin | Java , and now i'm trying to learn React with typescript, and plan to start an AR base Full-Stack application for real users
do you think am i on good track for FAANG ?
what am i missing for ?
This is absolutely great! Maybe start grinding Leetcode as well that’s honestly more important than coding projects at times (check out my video on coding projects vs leetcode grind)
I follow you on Instagram, and it's been really interesting to see your progress man! Your tips are great, and the "road to fang" series of yours always reminds me to continue on grinding. Motivational!!
Love to hear you love the content! Thanks for supporting 🤝
a question I have was, why did you use Spring boot instead of using something like NextJS + TRPC + Prisma?
I just wanted practice with Spring Boot
Those are more for start-ups not big tech
@@andrean40 well he's not building big tech.
Awesome!! Have you completed Tech with Tim’s SDE course or still enrolled? And what is your experience with it like was it worth it?
I’m still enrolled (at 70 percent complete). If you have any questions please email me I’ll give you a full break down!
Nice project. I was just wondering how are you getting your API data for your backend? Is there an API endpoint in which your university put their data?. Thanks in advance for the reply
I built the API myself by data scraping
@@SWErikCodes ah okay. I wanted to do a similar project for my canteen's university. They post a weekly menu on their website as a pdf. I was wondering if you have some idea on how can i get the data from the pdf file?
@golden-oj3mk look into data scraping with pandas and beautiful soup!
@@SWErikCodes okay i'll look it up. Thanks again for the help
Where is this project? Or it is just an advice?
You can find it on my GitHub it’s not just advice! It’s a coding project I’ve had great success with
@@SWErikCodes Actually, just code can't help me at the moment. I'm following some other tutorials to create a complete application covering complete sdlc. So definitely coming back to it once I'll complete the app I've started. Nevertheless, I'm very excited after finding out your channel. It's a pure delight. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
i have made such projects for my uni too where in my head I imagined it being deployed and used by others but I am kind of an introvert and struggle to ask the faculty, uni or like you approach a Microsoft swe
how did you approach these people ?? and how did you find them in the first place ?
To gain a user base I just posted about my project on LinkedIn and Reddit. I then cold reached out to people that may implement it, not expecting any response but being pleasantly surprised with the responses
@@SWErikCodes thx for the reply
going to try it out
Would a fitness app to track macros or exercises be resume worthy? react frontend, node backend, and postgres db? also sidenote can you walk me thru the chick fil a interview process lol
Project: I think this is a great idea because it sounds like something you’re passionate about (which goes a long way in interviews) and is in the in demand technologies
Interview: I had an OA with leetcode questions and random dsa knowledge questions which were mcq. Then had to do this video recorded interview, then a final phone call which was both behavioural and technical.
1: Solve a real world problem
2: Has a user base ...
Stop there. If you legit did create that then you wouldn't want to go to FAANG where you will die on the vine there. You would just start your own company if you had any actual skills. The fascination with working at FAANG is just ridiculous. Its all about getting clicks and selling courses
baity title( should be "This Coding Project Might Give Me An UNFAIR Advantage...") with no work experience to back it up, clearly reading of a script, stating the obvious, shitty haircut etc. springboot mentioned tho so i left a like :)
*Did u use Spring Security for this ?If not, how did u secure it?*
I actually only implemented security checks through supabase, but spring security is a great thing to use for sure
@@SWErikCodes it’s so complicated 😭 Every tutorial is depreciated and the docs are hell. I’m afraid that my Spring boot projects won’t be done in time for recruiting season …
@andiuptown1711 haha I know it’s awful. Have u tried jwt authentication? I loved amigoscodes videos on it
Great video
Much appreciated!
