What was it that initially inspired you to learn to code? Was it robots, video games, design, etc... Whatever that was, creating the pinnacle of it is what your future will be.



It was the challenge for me. Seeing some difficult-to-solve problem, attacking it, and actually solving it after much perseverance.

Kind of stemming from the mindspace "If they can build X, I can build X!"

I'd explicitly not look up tutorials, just so I'd have the opportunity to solve the mathemathics myself. Like building a 3D physics engine. (I did look up colission detection after struggling with it for a month or so, inventing GJK is on another level)
