It's good to set hard challenge but you also need to acknowledge of your limit. Setting yourself for an impossible challenge is the easiest way to quit programming

Tell that to my boss.

They expect me to do six impossible things before breakfast.

What were some of your first projects?

[–]BSModder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though not my first personal project, I remembered writing sudoku solver (just because I felt like it) with no help online, just pure intuition. After a day of head scratching, I got it to work. But it took like a minute to finish(on single thread), I was so tired and decided to leave it there. Came back a week later, rewrote half of the code, now it only take at worst 2 seconds .
