[1087.74 --> 1088.44] would they look like
[1088.44 --> 1089.74] and I basically just sat
[1089.74 --> 1090.54] down and picked out
[1090.54 --> 1092.22] 20 projects that I
[1092.22 --> 1092.88] sort of picked them
[1092.88 --> 1093.66] intentionally to try
[1093.66 --> 1094.36] different stuff I
[1094.36 --> 1094.86] didn't want to keep
[1094.86 --> 1095.88] using the same thing so
[1095.88 --> 1096.40] I didn't want to build
[1096.40 --> 1097.46] like 20 web applications
[1097.46 --> 1099.00] but the idea was like
[1099.00 --> 1099.56] you know if you go
[1099.56 --> 1100.26] through all of these
[1100.26 --> 1101.12] and you code them all
[1101.12 --> 1101.72] and you actually give
[1101.72 --> 1102.48] it an honest shot of
[1102.48 --> 1103.18] trying to solve each
[1103.18 --> 1104.14] problem on your own
[1104.14 --> 1105.74] you will learn a ton in
[1105.74 --> 1106.94] the process even if you
[1106.94 --> 1107.68] don't complete them
[1107.68 --> 1108.92] fully or you don't
[1108.92 --> 1110.16] understand everything or
[1110.16 --> 1111.00] your code's pretty ugly
[1111.00 --> 1111.76] it doesn't matter you
[1111.76 --> 1112.48] will still learn a lot
[1112.48 --> 1112.92] doing it.
[1113.44 --> 1114.12] I think that that's so
[1114.12 --> 1115.26] valuable as well because
[1115.26 --> 1116.48] I tweeted about this
[1116.48 --> 1117.56] recently when I was
[1117.56 --> 1119.94] learning to code I was
[1119.94 --> 1120.74] already pretty well
[1120.74 --> 1122.20] established in tech on
[1122.20 --> 1123.96] Twitter and so like how
[1123.96 --> 1125.42] should I start just build
[1125.42 --> 1126.78] something build what
[1126.78 --> 1128.94] something what where
[1128.94 --> 1130.28] where do I start how do
[1130.28 --> 1131.86] I start what do I build
[1131.86 --> 1133.78] I don't know well you
[1133.78 --> 1134.62] know what figure it out
[1134.62 --> 1135.72] that's how you learn just
[1135.72 --> 1136.34] figure it out.
[1136.34 --> 1137.38] and that's really
[1137.38 --> 1137.90] frustrating.
[1138.18 --> 1139.50] So frustrating because
[1139.50 --> 1141.94] you just like build a to-do
[1141.94 --> 1144.62] app like tell me something
[1144.62 --> 1145.86] tell me where to start
[1145.86 --> 1148.04] right and so I feel like
[1148.04 --> 1149.24] really experienced
[1149.24 --> 1151.14] programmers that's kind of
[1151.14 --> 1152.46] their go-to advice we'll
[1152.46 --> 1153.26] just just go build
[1153.26 --> 1153.58] something.
[1154.16 --> 1155.60] Actually the other advice
[1155.60 --> 1156.42] that I'd add to that
[1156.42 --> 1157.28] though I mean if you've
[1157.28 --> 1158.70] got a project right build
[1158.70 --> 1160.24] it right but don't build
[1160.24 --> 1161.34] it just once build it
[1161.34 --> 1164.00] three times because the
[1164.00 --> 1164.94] first time you build it
[1164.94 --> 1165.46] right you're going to
[1165.46 --> 1166.54] commit all the sins and
[1166.54 --> 1167.12] you're going to build the
[1167.12 --> 1168.44] wrong thing right it's not
[1168.44 --> 1169.96] going to meet the needs
[1169.96 --> 1170.68] that you're looking to
[1170.68 --> 1172.16] address with it right it's
[1172.16 --> 1172.94] not going to work well
[1172.94 --> 1173.56] you're going to be like oh
[1173.56 --> 1174.38] that was that was
[1174.38 --> 1175.98] horrific right the second
[1175.98 --> 1177.24] time it will probably
[1177.24 --> 1178.86] function and achieve what
[1178.86 --> 1180.66] you want it to achieve in
[1180.66 --> 1181.62] terms of the end results
[1181.62 --> 1182.38] of the thing that you're
[1182.38 --> 1183.66] building but you're going
[1183.66 --> 1185.10] to think oh that is some
[1185.10 --> 1187.50] ugly awful evil code
[1187.50 --> 1189.42] there are monsters working
[1189.42 --> 1191.14] inside that that you hate
[1191.14 --> 1193.22] and the third time then
[1193.22 --> 1194.06] you're in a position where
[1194.06 --> 1195.54] you can actually put
[1195.54 --> 1196.78] together some really
[1196.78 --> 1199.48] elegant approaches and to
[1199.48 --> 1200.60] develop some beautiful
[1200.60 --> 1202.72] code and so if I were to
[1202.72 --> 1203.74] add any advice with that
[1203.74 --> 1204.80] once you do find that
[1204.80 --> 1205.86] something whatever that
[1205.86 --> 1207.42] is if that's reproducing
[1207.42 --> 1208.50] someone's example or
[1208.50 --> 1210.52] finding anything that
[1210.52 --> 1211.70] inspires you to build
