As a 27-year-old human, I’ve realized that life comes in phases. Recently, what really gave me a lot of motivation was launching a Chrome extension (side project, which no one 'll use probably :) ), built from scratch. Of course, AI helped a lot but I’m pretty sure that without it, I would have just started and never finished it.
Having something of your own, even if it’s just a side project compared to your main job, makes you sleep better and feel happier.
I don't know how, but some months ago I found the motivation to read some technical Software books (never happened before).
I’ll admit I’ve wasted a lot of time doing nothing (like videogames or useless YT videos), but honestly, finding an ally like AI has helped me overcome the barrier of ‘I’ve never done this before, it’ll take too long just to learn it.’
