Hi guys ,so i started this year really confident and full of hope, i planned that the year was going to be my year of productivity and i was going to get the job done, looking back i did use this to make myself feel better , get the job done, the ai trend really did a number on me lol, i didnt take it quite well, i started this year as a decent developer, but i had a problem , i did'nt want to be mediocre ive always been liike that , the problem of wanting to learn everything and ending up learning nothing, wanting to become everything and becoming nothing , that was basically what i have been doing , i wanted to learn everything , be able to build everything , understand everything, be able to answer every question, well i did get really good at ai prompting for what its worth ? i started out with vibe coding then literilly using ai for everything , people would ask me questions and i would paste it on ai to reply and feel like a mentor ,i mean i have 5 experience in programming i cant start all over i would just get really better with ai till i become invincible , well that , that was a bad idea, but i guess its better late than never , restarting my tech journey as of today , starting from scratch , html,how does the internet work, the real basics , learning to use ai as a copilot and not the implementor, learning to think for myself , might have taken me 5 years and 11 months to learn this lesson but i guess its never too late to restart ? it isnt right ? i know i am aing the right decision but i just cant get that disappointed feeling off my chest from wasting soo much time ,of wanting to become everything ,i guess the point of this is to - well who am i kidding this is more of a self-reflection and a breath of fresh air to write out what i am felling less than an advice or to make someone learn from me.we have two months left so hopefully i make something with the rest of it , i am going to be posting my daily progress on here and what i'm learning , hopefully i dont quit and i actuallly achieve alot with the rest to recover for the wasted time
