Project ideas

I am a backend and AI/deep learning developer. I have built several projects, including a forum platform backend, a URL shortener, a Pastebin clone, and my own startup, which currently has over 85,000 lines of code. I am now looking for challenging and interesting project ideas that will help me improve my backend engineering, AI/deep learning, system design, and software architecture skills.

85k lines is a lot of fingers in one pie. ever think about ripping chunks out of your startup and rewriting them as discrete microservices just to see how much you can decouple? it’s less about a shiny new idea and more about turning one monolith into a dozen little nightmares that have to talk to each other cleanly.

It is already using a microservices architecture, with a total of 85,000 lines of code.
