I am a self-taught software engineer back in 2016. After launching my first SaaS, I realise for me to grow, I need to learn from people way better than me. I manage to find my first software engineering job in 2017 and never look back.
I believe the best way to learn is from people better than you. The problem with small projects is that it never make it to the point where certain skills/practices become important or even critical.
In this spirit, my recommendation is in this order:
1. Get a job. Learn how to work in a team.
2. If for some reasons, this is not possible, watch conference talks especially on those problems faced by big companies, and what do they do to solve it. Learn about this problem, and figure out other ways.
