Ask HN: Moving on from web development

27 points

9 years ago

I'm a computer science student who has been working mostly on JavaScript(node and front end). I want to change paths as I feel too confined in the web dev space. I want to switch to something entirely unrelated to creating CRUD apps(including mobile apps).

I have tried to read the code of and contribute to Open Source projects like LLVM and MongoDB but its very tedious to get into. For almost the whole past year I haven't learnt anything new or atleast worthwhile. I tried getting into Machine learning but the Math was overwhelming.

What should I learn so that I can become competent for jobs other than web development?
