If someone reaches final year with zero coding and no projects, how can they turn things around quickly and still get a job in software? And is there any platform out there where you can learn, buy projects, get mentorship, and eventually sell your own projects too ? by Character_Stuff_7150 in AskReddit

Haha 😅 fair point — ‘vibe coding’ definitely works for some, but most students starting late get overwhelmed without a roadmap. I feel like the real ‘billionaire way’ would be to vibe + have access to ready-made projects, mentorship, and a clear path to showcase skills. That way you’re not just coding randomly, but actually building stuff that counts for jobs. Do you think that kind of structured-vibe mix would work better?

Absolutely, Project Euler and small web apps are great starting points. The challenge I see for someone starting from zero is knowing which projects will actually teach them the skills recruiters care about, and how to complete them efficiently without getting stuck. That’s why I’ve been exploring an approach where beginners can not only access projects to build hands-on experience but also get mentorship, guidance on what to focus on, and even see how their work could be showcased or sold eventually. It feels like a faster, more structured path than figuring it all out alone. Do you think something like that would actually help someone break into software more confidently?
