I’ve been inspired by Jennifer Dewalt and her quest to learn how to make websites that resulted in 180 websites in 180 days.
That’s an epic achievement.
I wondered how this could be applied to programming? Could I create a new program/application everyday for 30 days? Not even 180. Just 30. I got my answer. NOPE.
The first day was easy enough. A simple Pomodoro App. I actually thought I could do this. Day one was pretty simple. Well… day two… not so much. I could make some progress, but I couldn’t finish something everyday. Not and have it worthwhile or interesting.
So I failed.
That’s okay.
Regroup and try something else.
So now I am trying to just program something for fun everyday. A couple of rules.
-
It cannot be work. Meaning it can’t be a work project, or something I have to do for my job. Even though that stuff can be fun too.
-
It cannot be a startup, business, or for money. This changes my mindset. I think about these differently. When I mix these, the projects always fail.
We will see how this goes.
