I need a project !
Posted by Logical_Difficulty79@reddit | learnprogramming | View on Reddit | 19 comments
Hey , I'm 23 just started by 2nd job after 1 year of experience as a Full stack developer using Python and Js. I have studied C++ in the past and I'm confident I can pick it back up .
Can someone suggest a long term project that I could work on that's very low level ( preferably Cpp ) that's really interesting.
I need this because my current job feels like it's draining the creativity out of me and is making me numb and slow.

Wanna work on a game? I could perform most art and animation tasks and I know a guy that likes to make music.

This sounds interesting, I just happened to have a glance at one of my friends using godot for game dev . Very basic stuff but I kind of understand it .

I'm eyeing Godot but even the nice tutorials someone recommended to me require using a computer, and I'm stuck in a situation where I need to make a reclining laptop stand myself and to invent some way to cover its keyboard from the kitten that will inevitably try to sit on it. I would be more motivated to get over this hurdle if there was a potential interesting project. I also have to train my hand for regular tablet hand-eye coordination all over again and to remember drawing program's UI, but some vector projects could help with that, as it's less frustrating to lay down lines that you can edit than the lines you have to ctrl-Z several times in a row. Your skills diminish with lack of practice but your standards about yourself stay at the level when you were at your best🙄

Ahhhh i seee . Could you maybe point me in the direction of those nice tutorials.

I’d love to help out too. With the programming.

I learned C++ in like a few weeks by trying to reimplement the HTTP and TLS protocols in C++ as a library. I never finished lol but I personally found it pretty fun. And you get to learn about the protocols too which is cool.
Logical_Difficulty79@reddit (OP)
Oh this is interesting, do you have any resources on how I can get started because I have no idea about how to reimplement HTTP whatsoever
snow-junkie@reddit
What resources if any did you use to start and continue the project.
nog642@reddit
Google.
Leading me to documentation (cppreference.com, boost documentation, etc) and stack overflow mainly.

+1, could also try building a web server

How about helping an NGO connect access db to the SARS http platform for S18(a) data upload IT3(d)?

If you want something low-level + interesting, try building a simple database engine or a mini OS scheduler. Both will push your C++ skills hard and feel very rewarding. Just keep the scope small at first so it stays runable.

There is zero benefit in going private as you lose the opportunity for getting peer reviews. Also we have had plenty of people return after going private (despite being warned) complaining about how they were ghosted after some time or being tricked into buying rubbish that didn't work and even if it did they didn't need.

There are a million generic things anyone could recommend that you could get from asking an LLM, so instead I'll just give you the several projects I'm working on to rattle some neurons. Try to find something that interests you, solves a problem you've faced, or perhaps contribute to some OSS project(s) you personally use.
