I feel like I’m stuck at one of the hardest stages in becoming a developer — going from learning to actually getting real-world experience.
I’ve been learning frontend for about 2 years (mainly through The Odin Project), and recently started building simple full-stack apps and AI-powered tools using OpenAI / Claude.
I’ve been building simple AI tools to automate real-world tasks.
But I still don’t have real professional experience, and I’m struggling to turn what I build into something people actually use.
I’m currently based in the Philippines, working independently, and trying to find a practical path forward from here.
If you’ve been through this stage, I’d really appreciate any advice.
Also, if you have a small task or workflow you’d like to automate, I’d be happy to help or try building something useful.
