Is My Broad Skillset a Strength or a Weakness? /u/wolfakix CSCQ protests reddit

I am a 2nd year CS student and I can’t keep myself working on only one field. I’ve been learning for about 6-7 year now, I started with discord bots, moved to web dev, then to compilers and interpreters and now to embedded software.

My resume Includes 3 projects, a fully custom Pascal interpreter, a messenger app (web) and some desktop app that is similar to neovim and I am also part of a uni team where I write the software of a ECU for a racecar.

While I believe that some of them are good additions, I think that this might be a red flag to recruiters since I keep dabbling into everything non-stop.

Is this a bad thing? Should I send resumes with relevant projects to the roles or no? I always thought that showing people that I can learn fast by adding different projects is good, but lately I’ve been told the opposite, what do you think I should do?
