Hi everyone,

We’re a team of 5 CS students looking for ideas for our final-year project.

We have good experience in backend and frontend development and some basic AI/ML knowledge, but we're not advanced in AI yet.

We have around 4 months to prepare and learn before implementation starts, followed by another 4 months for development. However, we'll have other courses and exams during that time, so it won't be full-time.

We're looking for a project that:

- Is mainly a web application

- Is large enough for 5 students

- Has substantial backend/frontend work

- Uses AI/ML for something meaningful, without being just an AI wrapper

- Is challenging but realistic within our timeframe

Ideas I liked so far are malware detection and system failure/anomaly prediction platforms. I like the idea of AI being one part of a larger system with things like data processing, dashboards, APIs, monitoring, etc.

I'd love to hear ideas in a similar direction, especially projects that solve a real-world problem.

Thanks!

You are asked to push code/design you know has bugs/gaps. What would you do?
A. Push anyway (to meet deadline)
B. Inform team but still push

C. Refuse until fixed/tested

D.Negotiate for partial delivery

E. No idea

so I'm starting DSA prep from scratch (2nd year, trying to get ahead for internships, placements next year, panicking a bit ngl) and everyone I ask recommends something different lol

some seniors said just do striver's sheet start to finish, some say leetcode is enough if you're consistent, and gfg has like a whole dsa course + articles for everything but idk if its outdated or still good in 2026

anyone actually used more than one of these and can tell me the real difference? like which one is better for actually understanding concepts vs just grinding problems

also open to other suggestions if I'm missing something obvious

every time I ask this question people give me silly answers like 'mcdonalds is not a good reference' . mind you I handled the playplace incidents and I also made the local birthday booking page responsive (on mobile) but let's keep that aside now, I accept thats not impressive.

but then I ask you 'what exactly is impressive'. well apparently nothing. people just say 'something better', 'make a project'. so much ambigous and vague advice.

I need a fucking job , I don't have much time and you are giving these answers.

If my jquery and html knowledge is outdated, If I need to write react code and a job is guaranteed, then tell me na. I will start today. But what do you mean “just keep trying”, “build projects”, “have patience”?? what exactly am I supposed to build?

I once hooked up with a hot, married Googler I met online. It's left me with the impression Google HQ has a fun, hookup culture. Googlers, can you sleep with coworkers and still keep your jobs? Other big tech workers, what's the vibe where you are for the 35+ crowd?

Amazon has a super appropriate culture. Also, if he's remotely handsome and older than 35, he's partnered off. It's like working at Amazon wards off divorce. Lucky wives!
