I have a newly graduated SW Eng (BS in CS) who is struggling to find a job and getting advice to go back and get a Master’s Degree in #LLM in order to be more marketable.
I’ve always heard that grad degrees aren’t strictly necessary in SWE to start but is this changing? Are there other time investments that make more sense (open source contributions, certifications, personal projects, etc?)?
I’d like some feedback from you: how much is too much? How much is good? Do we have a rule of thumb?

It’s been so long since I did anything with authenticated users, curious about “modern” patterns and standards.
Specifically, an authenticated user wants to do something. What patterns and standards are you using for permissions?
I’m seeing middleware mentions. But, curious what else is out there. Not looking for “use Framework X” and should be testable. Doesn’t need to be web-specific as I’m just looking for patterns and standards.
