Wouldn't say I got a lot better by writing small and medium sized personal hobby project, but it most definitely did get me confidence. A cellular automata runner where you can define the rules and watch what happens: https://aperocky.com/cellular-automata/ https://aperocky.com/cellular-automata/ Browse THIS website in terminal: https://github.com/Aperocky/hnterminal https://github.com/Aperocky/hnterminal A random simulation of prehistoric civilization and market: https://prehistoric.tech/ https://prehistoric.tech/ Every few months I get a bubbly idea and start some fun project, and they are usually small enough I get to finish them in a week or so, package them either on the web or pip/npm. It feels like a boost to software engineering as a job, which can occasionally get boring.
