I shot myself in the foot again!!

These incident usually happen at restless night.

Some night I become too restless so I do what any programmer would do, I program.

The "novel" idea just come up and I code until I become too tired. I usually finish the prototype of the project before I fell asleep.

I usually found out that I have reinvent the wheel the next morning! Great. My "novel" idea is not too "novel" after all.

It is hard to find the novel project these day since it is too hard to beat the decade of collective intelligence of programmer.

Don't worry about that, you'll invent something really useful after a while :) All these stories about inventions made in one sleepless stridulation are bs in my opinion. Right now you have to make something bigger of all the intelligence that was brought before - to present original, and it's a challenge. The question is: do you accept it?

@vintprox I know it's all bs about sleepless inventions.

I am at the stage where everything make sense and not at the same time.

I been programming for a while (almost 10 years) and I feel like I can program everything but don't have much motivation for it.

On the bright side I feel kind of glad that someone have already solve the problem and maybe I am looking at it the wrong way.

You do not need to have "novel" idea but maybe it's how you execute it considering how many fast food brand sells the same burger with just different name.

@mr-user I've accumulated concepts for some original and juicy side projects, but I don't have time for them. I'm sure there are lot of people like me. It's just so annoying that you have to earn money that instant to live without debt - with consequence of having primary time job that already wastes all your daily cognitive energy. Mood.

I have an idea for original Discord game bot that takes inspiration from funny "table" game, however I realized that its place in a long shelf until I bring all tasks down, which probably will never happen. If you are interested to take over the project, DM me: vintproykt@gmail.com

@vintprox I am sent you an email.

Don't fret.
Coding is enjoyable 😋
And it's practice, too.

What is a prototype?☹️

@Afrographics Prototype is working version of software but it isn't ready for production.

You can think of prototype as proving the concept are correct and the things can actually be build.

In prototype the code will be messy , the exception may not be handled , ---etc.

For example

int divide(int a,int b)

{

return a/b;

}

The above code is prototype because it just prove that we can divide and the below code is the production ready code because it handle the exception (such as dividing by 0) the program can occur.

Optional<Integer> divide(int a,int b)

{

if(b<=0){

return Optional.empty();

}

return Optional.of(a/b);

}

@mr-user thanks🙏
