    My biggest problem is figuring out what I want to do with any coding skills. I have none, by the way, and I don’t even know where to start.

    Some of the usual responses when I state this:

    “Automate your work” - I work in Salesforce. Have you seen Salesforce? I’m not a multi faceted systems administrator constantly updating DNS records or working in Active Directory.

    “Write a cool app” - What cool app? What is “cool”?

    “Open dev tools and look around” - Why? Specifically, why?

    Also, learning programming is BORING. Most of the courses I’ve tried are so so stale and they aaallll end up explaining concepts in the same way.

    “This is a fleeble and it holds the sping, the sping tells the plus plus that it must do what the herbug says”.

    k.



  • I take stock.

    What are my personal positive achievements?

    Where am I right now, is it a good place?

    It doesn’t have to be my final destination, but is it good?

    If I strip away all the fringe and lingering bullshit, am I safe and happy in this specific point in time?

    Like right now: I am on the couch drinking coffee on a Saturday morning. I have three dogs with me. I am safe and I am loved.

    What happens tomorrow is future zombie_kong’s problem. Not todays.

    Edit: you got this. It’s nothing. A mere blip in this adventure we call living.
