I see so many cool indie projects that have been made by really talented developers, and I'm very jealous!

@kev It's always great seeing what other people achieve, but it's also important not to hold yourself up to them as standards.

Life is short. You can't do everything, and there will always be somebody (more likely, a lot of people) better than you at any given thing.

I guarantee there are plenty of people who look at your work and feel the same way about you as you do toward those you just wrote about.

@kev being envious is good. It can be motivating..

I also want to build cool shit. We need a plan. We need to get @vincentritter to live stream when he building something so we can hopefully learn something 🤪

Just kidding.

In all seriousness, on multiple occasions I have attempted to learn how to code but each time I find that I like the idea of building stuff (apps etc) but not the process of building it.

Hope that makes sense.

@merecivilian @vincentritter I think some live streams with Vincent is a great idea! 😂

Yeah it does make sense. I know for myself personally, when I’m building a site, looking at a blank page, ready to be coded is really exciting to me. But that’s not in the same ballpark as what these guys are doing.

@kev don't feel bad.
Even knowing how to code them, doesn't mean you'd suddenly have time to do it.

@orizuru Very true.

@kev you have already learned to make cool websites where you write cool things. And you created simple.css! You are already building cool shit! No need to know "true" programming for that :)

@vitSkalicky Thanks! :)
