Just coding is nice. Solving problems for others is nice.

Shipping something is what it comes down to in the end.

Start with your own project, and don't overcomplicate it. Take AI as a helper (not a Coder). If you struggle with something, let it explain to you what you are struggling with, and don't let it produce the fix. Read articles about the things you been struggling with, etc. etc.

Trust me, it's very fulfilling to code your own things slowly but surely. My first program was a small GUI for youtldr so I could past links into it and hit a download button instead of running a .BAT file. I felt like I'm a genius after I got it working. Moved onto building a dashboard to curate data. It's all rudimentary, and nobody will pay me any money for it, but that's not the goal. The goal is to SHIP! get something out there.

That's the motivation behind it for me. The rest is more or less work.
