How do I trick my brain into completing a project? I’m making an app that shows which voice actor plays a character in the movie and what other movies they act in. It’s useful for me personally but I feel like I’m making something that’s been done numerous times over and I lost the momentum because I’m on vacation with my family now. I ran into some problems with the project too and getting help takes a ton of time so it’s disrupting the rythm too. I really have to put at least 2-3 projects like this for a portfolio;_;

    It works similarly for me with the motivation thing. I don’t have anything against learning things but I wish it was easier to find information about more complex things than just the most basic stuff. It’s the problem with all those courses. They’re great as a “starter” but after that point, you’re on your own in a weird void. The documentation doesn’t help much as well. Tutorial hell is a weird place to be in.

        It’s a last resort. I don’t like using it and it’s a 50/50 anyway. One time it suggests reasonable things, the other time it totally misses the point. I’m not sure if the suggestions are following best practices too.

          I think making effective use of those tools is it’s own skill. They can give you bad results if you ask things too broadly. But copilot chat has become a pretty invaluable part of my workflow.
