    12. Buy a cybertruck

    🤭

    But jokes aside though, those projects really do scream "tech bro"

      😂 The Cybertruck is definitely a must-have on every developer's project list! But I totally get what you mean—these projects are designed to push boundaries and challenge skills, which sometimes gives off that 'tech bro' vibe. Glad you caught the humor in it! Appreciate your comment!

    Number 2 on the list does not fall under
    ”cool project ideas that will stretch your abilities, help you learn new things, and make your portfolio stand out.”

    Together with two friends, I’ve been working on an automated trading system… for the past 1,5 years…

    This - under zero circumstances - falls in the “cool fun side project” category. It’ll take you at least 4,5 years to make a working and profitable system all on your own. It’s not that much fun. It’s very painful.

      Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊 I totally get it—automated trading systems are no joke! 🧠💻 They can be more of a marathon than a sprint. The idea behind including it was to give developers a taste of different challenges that can really stretch their skills (and patience, apparently! 😅). But you're right, it might not be everyone's idea of a "cool, fun side project." I'll definitely look into tweaking the description to set the right expectations. Thanks for the heads-up! 🚀
