Making a website is a distraction from the hard work of finding a job.

If you want a job, you have to knock on a lot of doors and face a lot of rejection.

Nobody is going to find your website and hire you that way...yes it sucks.

There's nothing wrong with building a website in Flask. Just don't pretend that it is looking for a job.

Good luck.

Great points! I'm just going to use a static site generator and focus on what I actually want to learn instead.

There’s a time to learn and a time to earn.

Nothing wrong with either.

But don’t confuse learning with looking for a job.

Looking for a job is looking for a job, not hoping to be noticed by people you don’t know because of something they know nothing of.
