Great article, Alex.

I feel burned out sometimes too when I'm at a computer learning to code for almost 9 hours straight.

Sometimes you do need to step away from the computer and go walk on the beach, see a movie, or engage in a fun hobby.

And I totally agree with you when you say, "I don't care about person x who got a programming job in y months (normally 3 months) because those situations are unique and far fetched.

In any case, persevere and don't give up. The excitement of seeing a project coming from thought to reality is nothing short of exciting...even if it is a simple web app.

Have a great one.
