This reads like a parody of all the other 'help, I'm stuck' HN posts. > I’m a 26 years old “entrepreneur” Apparently not....yet. > I’ve written more than the equivalent of 32 Bibles (around 4M lines of code) Sadly, nobody cares how late you stayed up or how many loc you wrote. They just care about how awesome/useful/reliable/beautiful/addictive your product is. > My dad has always told me...I’m really pissed off with this one, I’d go back in time and fix it Dude, you're 26. Fix it now. You've plenty of time. > I should’ve... I should’ve See above > people are too closed-mind.....I don’t know what’s the deal with coding interviews, but I bet they don’t work good. Stop blaming others. People didn't want your service, these places didn't want to hire you. Maybe it's their fault. But you don't control them so assume it's your fault and think about how you can improve. It took me much too long to learn this lesson which now drives everything that I do: You are only as good as the value you add. Bringing this back to your dilemma - "I have no motivation on continuing coding". Do your products have users? Install Intercom or Crisp and find out. Talk to them and listen to what they like and don't like. Make them happy and more people like them will appear. You're not a coder in your parents house, you're a builder of things that add value to people. Instead of adding code day by day, add value. You've written 4m lines of code. That's great but people have become wealthy from 1000 lines. What did they do different from you? Answer that and you're on the right path. PS: throw some of those older projects on Github and make them open source. That should help you find out if you're a good developer, plus it's access to a community.
