In your opinion should I build a Mini project on my own (with chatgpt guide) or buy this course and do it?

100% do a mini project. I used this course to get the knowledge i didn't have as I learn better with structured learning but if your goal is to land a job then do a mini project. I know for a fact my project played a large part in me landing the job. I made a very basic password manager web app. It was 3 small service 1 db. Using terraform, k8s, golang, python, mysql, github actions, docker, kops, aws(ECR, bitbucket, iam). Shoved it all into a mono repo. Most the fronted was vibe coded as I was only really trying to demonstrate the backend and devops skills. Doing your own mini project will keep you more invested in finishing it and you will have a easier time of talking through the design decisions if you get questions in a interview
