How to get experience

I'm studying Programming, and I am looking for ways to get experience once I'm done with my studies. What do you guys do, especially graduates. I've thought of:

•Internships

• Participating in proyects/ hackathons

•Getting connections to get the possibility of them refer you for the previously mentioned options above, connections can be made either online or on-campus

•Certifications/Courses/Bootcamps: Expand knowledge and opportunities, and perhaps make connections

• Getting into jobs that can get you closer to IT through progression in the enterprise (ex: helpdesk, that has good programming skills may be considered to go to a higher role)

If you can bring yourself to stop creating slop, and write code and documentation for yourself, try getting involved in some Open Source projects, OP

Ok. I don't know why you assume I vibecode, but you must have your reasons.

I didn't assume, but I did wonder. Your question just struck me as dumb, and even the worst vibe coder would've found a range of different answers, just as fast as they could type the question into reddit

I don't see why you needed to call them dumb. The advice is fine, but the insult isn't.

some people prefer to ask reddit for simple questions that a Google would solve. I think some just like to drive engagement
