No, that was very interesting to read. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I've been doing backtracking on why I lost my motivation all of a sudden and one thing I noticed is I was getting impatient with React. I was learning the library for 3 months now and the fact that I'm having a trouble of understanding the basic concepts means I was feeling not confident in being a good developer - impostor syndrome, in other words. Combine this with the desire to build a React app for Twilio hackathon as quickly as possible and you have the perfect recipes for getting burn out.

So, yes. I think I'll take care of my health and maybe I won't do the hackathon after all.
