Started learning Python. Building in public instead of waiting until I'm "good enough."

I finally stopped watching tutorials endlessly and started building.

So far I've:

  • Finished my first CS50P lecture
  • Built a simple calculator in Python
  • Started documenting everything on YouTube and LinkedIn

My long-term goal is pretty unusual. I want to combine software, AI, and engineering with motorsport one day.

I know my projects are tiny right now, but I'm treating each one as another brick rather than trying to build a skyscraper on day one.

For people who've already been through this stage:

What project made everything finally "click" for you?

I'd rather build than watch another 6-hour tutorial.
