#2Great list for inspiration! Though, it is not true that all the problems can be solved in any programming language: try to make a "Bandwidth Monitor" in Coq.

#3Thanks for this - I'm just beginning on the long journey of learning programming, and have been looking for challenges to set myself now that I have (some) of the basics down (but large, practical projects are still somewhat daunting).

#4Thanks for sharing. I'm putting together materials for a course on data structures that I'm teaching this fall.
I have the theory part covered, but I'm always on the lookout for things that could make for decent practical assignment problems - reasonably attainable in scope, but without being too contrived.

#5I agree. This is a great list. Will like to see some game projects as well, and more in the security section too.

#6Should one consider them self skilled if they can complete all of these projects with some amount of ease?

#7> Prime Factorization - Have the user enter a number and find all Prime Factors (if there are any) and display them.
not to sound pedantic, but for any integer greater than 1 there is always at least one prime factor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_arithme...
edit: for prime numbers, it is the number itself

Not to sound pedantic, but a number is only its own prime factor if it itself is prime!
(Your point stands, though: every integer > 1 has at least one prime factor.)

#9My go-to for this sort of thing has always been Project Euler (https://projecteuler.net/).

Skilled relative to...
...most of the population? Yes.
...John Carmack? No.
