@ikea_femme @tobascodagama +1 to this. I never did internships or work experience short of a tiny bit of web dev contract work. Job postings are notorious for overstating the experience requirements. There are definitely entry level positions that need filling. Personal projects and school projects can be listed on a resume, it's development experience you can talk about in an interview. At my first job, I got more cred out of a goofy tool-assisted-speedrun tool than any of my more serious work.
