I too was self taught. For me it was the perfect opportunity to express my best vision ever. Unfortunately it was followed by years of mediocrity. But for one year my work was special. That is to say, for me it wasn't advancing skill. It was a vision of something no one else had done.
- Jaedon_Proctor 3y agoDo you have any thoughts on what made that one year special? Really with this question I am wondering if this was early on in your learning process? I think a lot of what is frustrating for me at this point, is realizing that a lot of the initial joy I got in learning was almost in a ignorance is bliss phase. Not knowing or even caring to understand best practices or reading/learning documentation. I think back to one of the most fun moments I had early on just being excited and happy I was able to follow a youtube video to create a simple turn based monster vs human game and actually getting it running. Im way past this as far a knowledge base, experience and capability now but am struggling to get that same feeling in new projects. Also I'm wondering do you still program?
