Wanted to put at least a couple of decent projects on my resume. People say that they don't matter but since I wasn't getting a lot of traction, I thought it would be a good idea. After a lot of procrastination and half-tried ideas, I still have nothing worth sharing.
- dirtybirdnj 3y agoThe personal project I talked about, I have built and rebuilt it like, 4-6 times now? #1 was absolutely pathetic and looks nothing like #7, which looks much more professional and legitimate. If you look at each one of these in isolation it's easy to call them a failure. If you look at them as a string of punctuated events where a determined person kept trying, despite failure, and then regrouped and tried again... well that's entirely different. I hope you can find something from these ideas to be proud of. Even if that one of them got you to the next due to growth / learning / exploration. I encourage you to find a piece of your work that can exist in a standalone way and publish that so you have SOMETHING to show for your efforts. You deserve it even if your brain tells you that you don't. Being willing to publish your stuff is scary. I'm guilty of that too.
