I'm in the same boat and it's so frustrating I've simply given up caring whether or not I actually ever make anything. I did Udacity CS101, (253 was a nightmare), every single Codecademy track, Ruby Koans, Ruby Monk, Learn Python The Hard Way, Command Line the Hard Way, and the Ruby on Rails Tutorial. That's a couple of years of daily practice. There's no shortage of projects I want to make or actual problems I'd like to solve. I kept hoping I'd run across something that was close enough to what I actually want to do, that I could bend it to my will. Here's what I think would work: Using Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails Tutorial as a model, add 10 projects that increment in complexity between 'Hello World' and the Twitter clone. I assumed that smart people who code would be able to solve the problem of teaching eager minds how to make stuff with code. I was wrong!
