Thanks for your message.
I do try to figure things out by myself but I come to ask to get extra informations. As for a project I'm interested in, I don't think I have the luxury to choose, I should practice on whatever I can get. My personal project are what interest me, but those are personal.

Thank you for your link, I'll check! As for your project, I would like to work in AI field (for now, we will see once I get more advanced). The web doesn't excite me but as I said If I can get better in what I do I don't care on what I'm working on.

I've mostly just seen internships as parts of training programs you pay for.

When the market is great, there are good internships available all over. But you tend to have to have connections, just because no one publicizes them. Internships through schools and stuff are generally pretty much just manual labor. It varies, but rarely is it good. I interned in several fields and have been through it in several forms.

Do you know where to go to join open source project? I have no clue where to start.

Mostly look for a project that interests you and see if you can jump in. Projects hosted on things like GitHub and GitLab are often open for people to just contribute to.

With open source you always choose.

Thanks, I am currently learning how to use GitHub to drop my projects on it. I wasn't aware of GitLab though.

If I don't want to work as a web developer, do I have to create a web page as a portfolio or no?

Same thing, different logo

I use GitLab, both are good. GitHub is owned by MS now, GitLab is open source. GL has a lot of outages, but they do more for free.

Creating a blog and documenting some of your work, troubleshooting, etc is probably best. You dont need a flashy looking webpage.

Actually not so much different in the free offerings now.

Definitely much closer. I'm not sure I'd pick GL today but we are already established with them and like them a lot. GH is great too. At this point, six of one...

I haven't noticed any outages that I can remember recently. GitHub however has had at least one major outage every year since 2017 and already multiole big ones this year.
