TLDR: It is never too late to live up to your perceived potential. Let go of the past, decide what potential you want to live up to, and start making small decisions today to achieve that potential. I'm sure this will be an unpopular o

I'm not sure how old "as you get older" is, but as at 43 and after a decade+ of staring at my computer programming every, I can say that darm mode is the worst and I find it more difficult to read white/light text on bla

Funnily that is also my dream and I have been (slowly) working on making this a reality so I can just be an imposter by myself. But after months (even years) Eurotripr.com is no where near an MVP. I'm even too slow to focus on my own t

I have 10+ years of web dev experience. I've worked in-house on a team that built up a e-comm cart from scratch with CodeIgnitor (owner wanted way too much customization for an off the shelf solution - or so we thought at the time...).

I just wanted to comment that you are not alone here. I am 43 and have been building websites and web apps for over 10 years and always feel i am the slowest dev in the room. It gives me insane imposter syndrome and causes me extreme stress

I left my job last may. I was a web developer at a branding /marketing agency. The office/people were great, no complaints about the work place at all. But after 5 years (and a similar stretch as an in-house before that), I just f

TL;DR: you are not alone. Every web dev feels this way. Learn what you can, and in a year you'll look back and know what you could have done better, but will still have some level of the same feeling of being an imposter. As long as yo

This sounds great. I've been working on a project for 5 months now and am so demotivated and seem to lose entire days without seeming to make any progress. I know my daily routine is in shambles (I've never been good with schedu

years are years. If you've known how to do something, and been doing it in some small way over the past 10 years, it doesn't matter if some was part-time, some full-time, some on your own in the basement. You've been practici

I literally just read a great article about this problem yesterday. Sadly my memory is awful and I seem to have cleared my browser history from the last 7 days so I can not find it... The gist of the article was you need to read books/

i have achieved the goal. The question was 1. how to come up with ideas, and 2. how to work on those ideas with a 9-5. I have achieved both of those. Successfully and profitably, or not, is another question altogether. Even in the past when

my advice wasn't to quit his job. it was a facetious comment combatting the 'i don't have the motivation to work after my 9-5'. you have to want to put in the work. if you don't want to, wait until a different time

TL;DR: 1. Ideas are super easy. You just need to realize they don't need to be ground-breaking. The simpler the better. 2. None of us WANT to work more after 9-5 work, especially those of us with families, kids, other non-work commitm
