I've been coding for 8 years now and one thing I wish I knew earlier was just how clutch GitHub can be for getting you hired. So here are 5 go-to repositories that every single aspiring software engineer needs to know. First is one of my favorites, it's Project Based Learning. The only way you'll ever learn how to code is by building out something from scratch. So pick a coding language, I highly recommend Python or JavaScript, and build 2-3 coding projects. Next is WebDev for Beginners. This is a 12-week curriculum by Microsoft, made completely free. It has 24 lessons covering JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and it has interactive quizzes and assignments. Now, another slept on one is Coding Interview University. Software engineer interviews are harder than the job itself. So this FAANG engineer built out every single thing you need to know resources along the way. Now one of the most important concepts in the age of AI is system design, so I really recommend the System Design Primer GitHub repository. Everything in this repository is crucial to land a job. You have to especially focus on stuff like caching, queues, how to handle large databases, and everything around APIs. Finally, there is my own Resumax repositories by Resumax, which cover everything between job postings, projects, and different roadmaps for different roles off of every single thing I've learned over my last 8 years of coding. So save this video.
