I've got terrible news. If you don't:

- Enjoy learning new things for the rest of your life
- Like solving puzzles and being creative
- Want to talk to other people

You will burn out and you will never:

- Keep up with the ever-changing tech landscape

[Thimo Koolen @thimok_dev]

Stay curious, stay creative, and go make something great. Oh and drink some good coffee. Smash it!

p.s. What do you do when you're in a slump and want to get out of it? Drop it in the comments below pls ✌️

That means, when you challenge yourself to think in options, you already have clarity before writing a single line of code.

This killed my creative slumps more times than I can count.

It makes problem-solving easier and faster.
