Project Ideas

Ok. I'm going to list off some ideas for projects. You will have to determine if any particular idea is good enough to include in a portfolio. These aren't creative ideas. They likely already exist. Some are way too advanced while others are simplistic.

I will recommend to post any project you make to github and make a github project page for it. Explain in as much detail as possible how you made it, how it can be improved etc. Document it.

If you pick an advanced idea, setup a development roadmap and follow it. This will show some project management skills.

Another piece of advice for those who are design challenged. Use different front end frameworks and use different themes for those frameworks to provide appealing designs without looking like yet another bootstrap site.

If you haven’t worked with JavaScript in the last few years, these three points should give you enough knowledge to feel comfortable reading the React documentation:

We define variables with let and const statements. For the purposes of the React documentation, you can consider them equivalent to var.
We use the class keyword to define JavaScript classes. There are two things worth remembering about them. Firstly, unlike with objects, you don't need to put commas between class method definitions. Secondly, unlike many other languages with classes, in JavaScript the value of this in a method [depends on how it is called](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Jav

i3 Window Manager Tips and Tricks

...to assign applications to a specific workspace/layout.

i3wm makes it easy to assign applications to workspaces and save and restore layouts - which is e.g. useful for auto-starting always needed software. To make these assignments, you need specific window properties so that you can tell i3 to assign [class="Your-app"] → 1 (in this example, Your-app will be assigned to workspace 1).

In many cases this just works. However, there are also many popular programs that do not initially set the correct window class or other properties on startup, which can be frustrating. This cheat sheet aims to show the problems and possible resolutions (or worse: workarounds) for more or less problematic applications.

i3wm Transparent Lock screen.

Warning: If executed multiple times, unlock isn't possible anymore, use with caution!

Description

Block computer for input, but remain graphical output as usual. Can be used for example to watch a movie on your laptop but forbid any input during that.

Downside

Not tested thouroughly yet, and only tested on Debian 9

How to prepare for technical interviews at companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Google, Microsoft, Swiggy, Uber, etc?

Interview Rounds

Generally, there are two major types of technical interviews that companies have in India:

Problem Solving & Data Structures Round
Machine Coding Round

If you're aiming the traditional giants like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc, then you should focus solely on problem-solving & data structures (PS/DS).
