Do you know why I chose to program? It's because it has a huge field to explore.

Programming is like an adventure and the coders are the pirates (And the overwhelming thing? It's a treasure map!). You just keep exploring until you stumble upon your destined treasure.

Here are your answers(not the best):

  1. I found android development overwhelming too(and I quit).
  2. If you love making apps, then consider doing another project(this is probably the only way you get better)
  3. My first experience with overwhelming? when I first saw complex DSA just like binary tree, Dijkstra's algorithm, A* algorithm, and many more. And how to overcome it? Just do it. Yeah, that's it. Once you know how things work you will figure out they are super simple.

To wrap things up, keep exploring until you find a suitable field for your career to grow.

Thanks for sharing, and I loved your analogy, by the way :). So what kind of programming are you doing right now?
