As a university graduate in Artificial Intelligence, you would think at this point I am programming anything and everything, any side project I can think of from anywhere at anytime. The reality is, life can always be difficult no matter what you do of varying angles away from any digital device.
I try and look forward, and plan slots to practise and learn programming more and more, it never ends.
The truth is, a degree doesn't hand you endless free time. It hands you a head full of ideas and a life that keeps getting in the way of them.
So the side projects sit half-finished. The clever app I designed in Figma stays in there. And that's fine. Learning isn't a race to ship something every weekend.
What matters is that I keep coming back. A spare hour here, a stubborn bug there. Small, steady steps add up far more than the heroic all-nighters we like to imagine.
If you're in the same boat, take the pressure off. You don't need to build the next big thing. You just need to keep showing up, keep curious, and keep chipping away.
Life will always be difficult, in one way or another. But the code will still be there when you're ready. And so will I.
