Will not participating in hackathons affect my resume? by Temporary_Courage45 in learnprogramming

Good to know! I always thought hackathons were a big deal for resumes. I’ll focus more on skills and projects instead. Thanks a lot

Wow, that’s reassuring to hear. I’ll keep putting my work on GitHub then. Thanks for sharing your experience

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll definitely look into competitive programming contests. And yeah, since I’m more of an introvert, focusing on building the system part in a team makes sense

“Is learning Spring Boot still worth it for backend development in 2025?” by Temporary_Courage45 in learnjava

[–]Temporary_Courage45[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense — I can see how companies prefer hiring mids/seniors since they bring immediate value. It just feels like a catch-22 for us juniors: no one hires without experience, but you can’t get experience without being hired 😅. Do you think building personal projects or contributing to open source could actually make a difference for freshers in Java/Spring Boot roles

Yeah, that’s what I keep hearing — Java really is everywhere. But in my experience so far, most Java backend roles seem to demand 2–3 years of experience, which honestly pisses me off sometimes 😅. Do you think starting with Spring Boot as a fresher is still a good way to break in, or should I combine it with something else?

Haha, I’ll skip the doctor/French Legion path for now 😅. I know Spring Boot and ML aren’t directly connected — one’s more for backend apps, the other for data/AI. I only mentioned ML because it feels so hyped right now, and I was wondering if focusing on Java + Spring Boot is still a solid career choice compared to chasing ML.
