Surely building your search engine required you to acquire new skills? Presumably your motivation to build a good search engine drove you to learn things you otherwise wouldn’t have.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoQuite the opposite, I built the search engine as a means to learn something new, both in the skill acquisition sense but also just to learn more about the state of the Internet. Like I'm very hands on with my learning. If I can't experience something myself and see it with my own eyes, even if that means building something from scratch, it just feels pointless. I'm also probably a severe outlier in not being particularly motivated by goals in any aspect of my life.
