When you make the whole damn game using c++ but you copy one tiny bit of code to use the mouse in graphics mode but they catch you and make you explain it to them and you can't...

Talk to your smarter friends. Just listening to them tell you about all the productive things they've done while you've just slept around should you shake you up a bit.

I just won my first hack!

Not just as a dev.. but as a person who does anything - getting over the mental block which keeps stopping you from taking up actual projects or completing them without abandoning them... the struggle is real... and I'm still struggling😅

I feel that people give more importance to good portfolios and projects rather than college degrees in this day and age. I've come across many professionals (in different fields) who are self taught and who I feel have a deeper understanding that others who have degrees or Ph.D s. Does one still necessarily need to go to uni to get employed?

Does not liking coffee count as a sin? Because I'm a tea person *_*

Not going that extra mile to solve problems/errors myself and asking people to help me out.
