Coding skills are only 10%

As a beginner in software development, I used to believe that as I improved my coding skills, the tasks I wanted to accomplish would become easier. I envisioned finding a good job, opening a business, and witnessing money flowing into my pocket. However, some of these tasks have become mundane; activities like creating a button and changing the color, shape, and border can be monotonous. Engaging in repetitive tasks that don't present a challenge can diminish motivation and focus. It's challenging to feel like a winner when solving the same problem for the hundredth time.

The real challenge in programming is not the act of coding itself but maintaining motivation until you build the path for your objectives. Keeping your focus on significant goals is the true challenge, and consistency is the key to achieving anything worthwhile.

With WakaTime, I am trying to solve my consistency problem.
