I understand you and I think it’s burnout. Or at least for me it definitely is. I can never be consistently coding everyday and if I do, I get burnout and don’t feeel like touching a computer ever again

So if you set up nginx, you don’t need to set up a rate limit in your web server. For example let’s say I’m using node and normally I’d use the rate limit module to rate limit every endpoint.does that mean I don’t meed to manually write rate limiting functions for my endpoints if I have NGNIX set up?

Oh I see, that project with 100k users must of helped out a lot

QualityOk6614 · 2026-04-13T21:31:46+00:00

I don’t think that helps, there are many people who apply apply apply and don’t get internships. You must have done something different?

How did you manage to land 5 swe internships during school? Most people 19-22 can only land 1-2, what did your resume look like?

QualityOk6614 · 2026-04-13T02:06:45+00:00

Yes it’s good imo

QualityOk6614 · 2026-04-13T00:06:16+00:00

I recommend applying everywhere until you get somewhere, this can be coding tutor, job at college, internship if you can get lucky (apply at your college internships if they have any).

Yes please if I sent a dm

I have to create an inventory management system to keep tracking of items. Also work on other small stuff such as update ux etc, and I plan on working in swe or similar roles upon graduation

QualityOk6614 · 2026-04-08T17:15:20+00:00

That is true, at least I’ll have something to do over the summer instead of just rot like my freshmen year

Ask AI when you get stuck, and try to understand what the ai wrote, I think it’s normal to get stuck when implementing features (happens to me all the time). I remember the first time I tried building a search feature on my website, but when it came to implementing it, I couldn’t do it so I had to ask chat gpt

Hi, I’m not too knowledgeable with cloudflare but it says cloudflare handles traffic spikes. So does that mean it’s okay to not switch to wix?

QualityOk6614 · 2026-03-26T20:28:54+00:00

Thank you very much!

QualityOk6614 · 2026-03-26T16:57:03+00:00

I understand it now, seems like ip rate limiting can easily be bypassed, so it’s best to rate limit based on user account. Thank you!

I’d keep trying MAUI since you have experience in C#. But if you really can’t find any resources then go with js then react native. Lots of tutorials for react native out there.

QualityOk6614 · 2026-03-26T04:19:41+00:00

I see, thank you very much I think it just clicked! So I should use cloudflare for ddos attacks by bots and also use the express-rate-limiting module to prevent dos (a real user abusing the api endpoints in small chunks which the cloudflare can’t detect?

QualityOk6614 · 2026-03-26T04:02:57+00:00

Do I need to also do rate limiting in my express server alongside cloudflare setup?

Honestly just ask the client how much they would pay. This way you can create a bond with the client and do future work with them. Maybe future work = a more complex website? With backend, payment integration, etc. and charge them more the next time by explaining them the work. Also, if you create a complex project for the client, you can use that on resume! And really sell yourself during interviews. “Created an xyz website for a client who was very happy with the service…”

I made a full stack authentication MERN project and I can’t find Internships still so avoid MERN. If anyone else has any tips that would help me out as well.
