i'd have started building the projects I thought were too big for me and that i tot weren’t skilled enough to build yet

@selfmadecoder

do it more and you’ll naturally get better at it. or find something unique about yourself to talk about ... your age, situation, where you’re from, what you’re building, whatever makes your journey different.

people connect with the person behind the work too.

@selfmadecoder

I suggest them to talk to @datawithsimon 😁

@selfmadecoder

nope .. its just a blog

@selfmadecoder

1. find an open source project and contribute to it
2. solve a real technical problem in a production app .. something like scaling, debugging, refactoring, optimization, whatever
3. learn something you think is way above your current knowledge level

do this and hopefully you prove yourself wrong and build that confidence

@selfmadecoder

hell yeah 😭 .. I'm getting old

@selfmadecoder

i don’t usually post gym content here .. still going tho, might start posting more

@selfmadecoder

as long as you’re targeting the right audience, a personal brand is honestly so valuable on any social media platform ... as long as you ain't laying abt skills and keep improving every day you can definately count on it

@selfmadecoder

no that has nothing to do with me dropping out 😭 ... i’ve shared my reasons so many times on this channel. and yes, being a dropout has nothing to do with being successful.

it gives you time to do more and focus on what you care most tho ( my reason )


@selfmadecoder

i don’t know much about networking tbh 😭 ... but if you care about it that much, i’d definitely go for it if i were you. that’s just me tho

if there are any network engineers here, please give your brother/sister some advice 😭

@selfmadecoder

Thanks 🙏

@selfmadecoder

claude code .. i know codex is really good too .. if you want cheaper ones .. try kimi and mini max and glm models too

@selfmadecoder

question for @MajorJohn23

@selfmadecoder

we usually eat dinner around 9pm around 4 Kilo

@selfmadecoder

start building for fun again. do some crazy technical challenge project just because you can. get back into that fun and messy process of building .. you can actually start here

@selfmadecoder

i don’t think there’s anything wrong with trying different things. but at some point, sit down and figure out which one actually keeps you interested, then try to stick with it.

you might feel like you’re late, but you’re really not. once you choose something, you can train yourself to become curious, excited, and obsessed with getting better at it. this works for me with pretty much everything, not just programming

@selfmadecoder

i can bench 45kg and my bw is 61kg

@selfmadecoder

1. i always feel like i’m behind 😭 but honestly, i don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. my goals and aspirations keep changing, and there’s always something better i want to chase.
2. i ain’t successful ( not yet 😁)
3. don’t be too hard on yourself. you’re the only person you’ve got (eod all you need is one win)

@selfmadecoder

that’s literally me 😭
