Something a lot of people don’t get it that regionally, you graduate with hundreds or even thousands of others at the same time. It’s not the schoolwork, everyone graduating has it. It’s what sets you apart.

If you haven’t done internships, no personal projects, or if you haven’t built anything, you’re just another one among many. Doing these things makes you different and highlights what you can do and what you wanna do and your drive to try something, figure it out, and see it through.

When looking through resumes, skills is one thing and goes into one pile. Then that pile gets shorter based on what else you bring.

Languages and I deal with international offices? Exchange courses abroad and I need someone who understands that different places have different customs? We deal with things that change often and you have a home lab and have figured things out? Took programming classes and we have things automated or need to automate?

I can teach the stack to people or idiosyncrasies. Teaching the above takes wanting to do it and also shows if you want something, you figure it out. We know these things aren’t taught in school.

#Congrats OP!

No, it’s a web server and reverse proxy.

It automatically adds HTTPS using let’s encrypt certificates.

I run 3 static sites on a 128MB VPS.

Instead of apache or nginx, just use caddy. Works great.

# free -m
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:             128          78           0           1          50          49
Swap:             64           0          64
