Although I haven't made much progress since. </p> <p>I have not dived into any project ideas and have been wandering aimlessly into looking into different technologies such as React, Go, etc. in the year following my graduation but not really putting them into practice mostly due out of desperation to pique the interest on any hiring manager or whatnot. It was this desperation that made me start to hate programming; Hating it just because it couldn't get me a job because I figure that way I can have a reason to come up solutions to problems because I would simply wait to have problems to solve handed to me. Of course, this is not a healthy mindset to have and it impacted me greatly.</p> <p>The rest of 2018 was spent with me hating my position in life because my current situation wasn't the most ideal; still working at the grocery store where I was employed since the latter half of my sophomore year of college, barely making ends meet and barely revisiting the programming languages that I learned, feeling the joy I once felt coming up solutions with, but swiftly dropping that and leaving them alone for months. Depression, frustration, and anxiety became facts of life for me. I decided to go out more to meet new people to see if it would alleviate me of this state of mind and I manage to meet a small group of people there which I became friends with rather quickly.</p> <p>After meeting new friends and going to new events and just hanging out with them I realized that they all had hobbies that they were successful at and met new individuals with all because they loved to do it, but most importantly they kept doing it because they disciplined themselves to keep doing what they love. They described as having to fight to keep themselves engaged doing what they like.</p> <p>And of course realizing my position and why I am here after some self-reflecting it made a lot of sense. I had the motivation, but motivation was only half of the solution; I needed to discipline myself. I realized that I needed to keep reminding myself of how I felt when I learned a new programming language and coming up with solutions to problems as much as I did in college only this time I had to discipline myself to do them out of my own volition instead of having to rely on someone else telling me what to do. Coming into 2019 I decide to to just that. Actually sit down, do what I do, make what I like, and worry about everything else later on. Be happy with my position in life because that is the real first step to improving it.</p> <p>I might not be the most proficient writer but I felt like I had to make this post to vent and to see if there were others in the same boat as I was. Hope you are doing well. </p> jobsearch motivation computerscience programming Bryan Campos Thu, 16 Aug 2018 04:52:38 +0000 https://dev.to/bcampos103/going-into-open-source-projects-as-a-way-to-brush-up-2h71 https://dev.to/bcampos103/going-into-open-source-projects-as-a-way-to-brush-up-2h71 <p>I want to know if it is a good idea to jump into an Open-Source project as a means to brush off any rust on anything that might be an obstacle.</p> <p>I have been meaning to jump on a project but have been apprehensive due to the fact that i might not know enough to contribute. Should i let that stop me or jump head on?</p> opensource learning discuss Bryan Campos Fri, 03 Aug 2018 17:01:44 +0000 https://dev.to/bcampos103/re-learning-fundamentals-274p https://dev.to/bcampos103/re-learning-fundamentals-274p <p>Going through sites like Hackerrank and leetcode i realize that i even have a hard time trying to go through some of the array based problems that those sites deem as easy.</p> <p>Are there any sites or other resources that would help me re strengthen my understanding of algorithms and how to go about those types of problems?</p> algorithms fundamentals computerscience discuss
