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.
