You just describe bipolar disease. Short burst of motivation are useless when you are running a marathon. People need to be resilient and persistent. You need to lower your highs and up your lows. When you are bad, you are not as bad as your think. When you are good, you are not as good as your think.
I am starting with this developer path, Yes I actually have seen this almost always. 99% of people actually fail learning something because they don't know how to build habits and stick with it. I really like this very realistic hope I can talk with you :).
The trick is pacing and learning yourself. Its hard to get home from work and jump into coding. Its also hard to feel so disappointed in yourself for not doing it. I found myself on so many nights, just staring at a screen, doing nothing. I've learned, that I need to actually take a break, and allow myself time to relax, else I'll never get anything done...
I really do like your content you motivate me to continue learning to code and you don't show us the Day in life of swe in fang like the other content you show us the reality and that motivates me
Thing about high emotion, is the higher you go, the further you have to fall. Its like a match, very bright when first lit, but burns out so quick, then your left in darkness and nothing fills you with joy anymore :/ This is why I have low coffee days XD Just so I can enjoy the high when I most need it
Much like art, learn to draw a line before learning to draw a box, now draw a 3d box, now learn perspective, not do the same with a circle and a sphere, now a rectangle and a cylinder....Now learn to render, then anatomy, then...then...then... All of the skills in art, programming, construction, data analysis, or whatever you are choosing are marathons, not sprints.

Good one. Habits/discipline beats motivation.

you need an insane amount of motivation. that is massively understated. this job will not hold your hand.
Did you just like your own comment? 👀
Lmao no, but I can if you want me too 😆
Great advice.

"Thing about high emotion, is the higher you go, the further you have to fall."
That's a good way to look at it.
Yo! This is deep on so many levels. Thanks for the food for thought.
Things such as low coffee days are exactly the “knowing yourself” parts that Don mentioned
Great advice. This is me.
Hey man what do you think about impact of AI on developer jobs. Would like to know your opinion no sugar coating be real
Nothing sandwich
Your noise is homie 😅
