What keeps me going is to keep certain projects alive and create things that no one has done before like creating a full expansion rom hack for donkey kong country 2. Sometimes, open source projects get purchased or abandoned. I want to save them by contributingand persevering them. I'll admit that sometimes I get burnt-out, and I feel imposter syndrome all the time; however, I remember why I got into coding to begin with. Money is part of it of course, but a big part is to keep things alive and have a medium to channel my logic into languages.

This speaks volumes about your passion towards this career option.

Yeah, burnout and imposter syndrome are common obstacles in the coding journey, but reminding yourself of your initial motivations should help pave the way.

Money is part of it of course, but a big part is to keep things alive and have a medium to channel my logic into languages.

Of course. That is what coding really is.
