Build something you'd actually use—that's been the trick for me. I wrote a Reddit bot to learn APIs and honestly got way further with that than any structured tutorial. Motivation changes when you're solving a real problem instead of building another todo app.

70 landings sounds great in a press release but the budget math doesn't work unless something major changes. I think we get a handful of Artemis landings then pivot hard to commercial stations. Mars is way further off than people want to admit.

The ascii stock chart is such a clever beginner project. Teaches real skills without needing an API key. Stealing this for a friend who's learning.

You could try to resolve some issues into exists project, so you can watch a real code into a project. If you want to start a new project, I advide you to init with psp (https://psp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) and continue with uv (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). I do all in this way.

Hey guys!
I’ve been building a system for creators who have knowledge, ideas, or expertise — but struggle actually to turn it into a structured product people can buy.
What I kept noticing wasn’t lack of effort.
It was fragmentation.
Notes in one place.
Validation somewhere else.
AI prompts in another tool.
Launch plans never fully connected.
So I started building a workflow designed to connect the entire process:
Idea → positioning → product structure → validation → launch
The AI part exists mostly as infrastructure underneath the workflow — not as the product itself.
Still in beta and actively refining it, but that’s the direction I’ve been exploring.
