you need to play guess and check with different things then, only way to find out

I would suggest reading The Alchemist, might help give you direction

This is the highest liked post I’ve seen yet

Already read it. Great book, big fan of Camus

Had to have had a little blood in it

Did you go to college? what did you study? what does your days include? Anything in life that peaks your interest?

I can suggest a lot of books and ideas but gotta narrow down who you are as a person

ngl I've been in a bad spot kind of doing that

Studied CS and working at the moment as a dev. It's alright. Idk what I want to do with my life. Honestly been loss since WFH started last year.

Besides music and tech, nothing really peaks my interest and I context-switch/can't focus for long.

Happy to hear any suggestions

I studied comp sci myself lol

What kind of development do you do?

Well you don't need anything else honestly those are your interests, just have to explore them

Are you interested in starting a business with your tech knowledge? Do you want to release music?

You can't focus for long so have you tried that Pomodoro technique I think it's called or do you think you have adhd?

playing an intense game of skeeball and only two tickets come out

Also how old are you because that plays into this heavy tbh

feels like every skee ball game for me tbh

fr?

I'm terrible at it lmao straight trash

oh I thought you were talking bout your nut

Oh nice, awesome.

Mainly do frontend/full-stack work. Though I'm thinking about getting into iOS. I always start looking into Stanford's CS193P course, Ray Wenderlich, or Hacking with Swift, but never finish it. A lot of things in my life I start, but never finish.

What type of developer are you?

Not interested in starting a business per say, but would like to work on a meaningful project that I truly think will help people.
I feel like a lot of tech is meaningless per say, but that's another discussion for another day.

I've tried the pomodoro technique, but it's not that effective for me. I do think I have ADHD to some extent, but don't want to self-diagnose and don't want to take meds to control it.

I sadly think I have a mobile phone/tech addiction too. I always need to be glued to some device to occupy my life.

I also have no goals besides clearing my debt. Other than that, I have nothing I really want to do

Early 20s

quick recovery was fun and games until quarantine, then it became a challenge

I hop around, truthfully anything I personally need to complete my a project

full stack website dev mainly but can handle c++, python, whatever is necessary

Maybe it's worth thinking about a project that means something to do and going for it yourself, depending on what it is it's manageable, I realized years ago I didn't get any personal fulfillment from other people's businesses and had to do my own thing

Yeah I can't suggest adderall or anything, I took it for a bit and it just gave me anxiety, person dependent obviously. Maybe you're a bit depressed, it could be worth trying prozac, no cons in really trying something like that
Eh but that's alright and normal, I mean you're in tech, I can definitely be like that myself lol

I'm 25, when I was in my early 20's I was extremely lost, depressed it's normal truthfully. Have you tried acid or shrooms?

is it really that hard for y’all

hope u get through it tho op

i like how you thought about it for 10 mins then were like "hope u work it out"

💀💀 read through the thread and started to feel bad i didn’t know that it was a serious problem that people dealt with tbh

rooting for you fam. it's brain poison for sure and i know it feels like it deep hole to get out of. keep trying
