Day 11: A Masterclass in Accomplishing Nothing

Planned: Build an ML project, finally put theory into practice, feel like a real developer.

Reality: Stared at VS Code for 6 hours, had an existential crisis, questioned every life choice that led me here.

Anyone else have days where your brain just... nopes out? Where you sit there with all the time in the world and zero ability to use it productively?

I've been learning for 11 days now, and today felt like I forgot everything I'd learned in the previous 10. Imposter syndrome hit different when you haven't even built anything to be an imposter about yet.

Shoutout to everyone else having one of those days where the code doesn't code and the thoughts don't think. Tomorrow we try again.

Question for the community: What do you do when motivation meets a brick wall called reality? Coffee? Crying? Both?
