Your first coding project could definitely be ugly.
I’m not saying you expect your first project to look clean, professional, and sharp — like Google and Apple just collaborated on it. 😂
But your first project can still look like a website that escaped an accident.
This was my first React project, by the way.

Please don't laugh at me. 😂
Looking at it now, I can see so many things I would do differently.
The UI wasn't great.
The code wasn't as clean as I wanted.
Some things were probably more complicated than they needed to be.
But honestly?
I'm glad I built it.
Because that ugly first project taught me things that watching tutorials couldn't.
I learned how to actually structure a project, make mistakes, debug them, and figure things out when the solution wasn't one Google search away.
And that's the thing about your first project:
It's not supposed to prove that you're already a great developer.
It's supposed to prove that you started.
Your first project might be ugly.
Build it anyway.
Your second one will probably be better.
Then the third.
Then you look back at the first one and wonder:
“Who allowed me to write this code?” 😂
Anyway, this is mine.
How did your first project look?
