I almost quit coding.

With all the noise around AI, the pressure, and struggling to even land an internship… it got to me.

I stopped coding completely.
No projects.
No GitHub.
Nothing.

I genuinely thought it was over for someone at my level.

But here’s what changed:

I realized I’m not just “passionate” about development —
I’m kind of obsessed with it.

So I made a decision:
I’ll keep learning.
I’ll keep building.
Even if my projects are small, useless, or imperfect.

No more chasing validation.

I just started a small React Native + Expo mobile project again…
(and yeah, my laptop is already struggling 😅)

Anyone else went through something similar with all the AI hype?
