Cooking analogy is great

Best advice for finding a project idea is create something to solves a problem in your life or that of a friend or family member. Then you have clear design goals, fix actual bugs, and add features like a real world app as the requirements change and evolve, plus then you actually end up USING what you make daily/weekly instead of it rotting in a repo somewhere.

There is no motivation to do a random project from the internet though. People don't LITERALLY have nothing to build. But they have nothing to build that is motivating.
@Guywiththetypewriter
Best piece of advice? Pick the part of the industry you love, and then pick something in it that annoys the hell out of you. Congrats, you've found your next project, making it better. E.g: .dzi files have no decent gui based desktop apps to convert normal images to the file format. Moment I realised this, looked into how to use C++ to make a JNI wrapper for a command tool, cracked open JavaFX and made one. Use spite and annoyance as your fuel. It will take you all the way to the finish line 😂🙏

These are valid if you don't have a work or currently just a student due to a lower chance of having a burnout. Trust me, consistency and motivation are different when you have a job. You're lucky if you have the time to do side projects but after a long day of programming at work, its better to just spend other time for your well-being (rest, play games, workout or spend time with your family)
@frogery
if you feel like you have a lot of potential but no motivation or energy to do anything productive, but you spend hours every day playing video games, quitting video games will be the cure. you think you play video games because you have no other interests, but it's the other way around.
@ThePsycho211
My excuse? Im programming in my work 8h a day, I think thats more than enough for me.
@Dietskittles
After years I finally just went for it. I started learning how to program. There’s so much I want to do, but for some stupid reason, it can feel really difficult to get started. Just do it. The worst thing you can do is keep waiting.

However, I’m sitting in front of a screen at an empty code editor while forgetting the idea I repeated to myself the other part of the day

Another 10/10 Bigbox video. Keep up the great work! ❤

I think this relates to "tutorial hell" effect, on which you keep on doing tutorial because you cant for the love of god come up with something useful to build

I have a passion (outside of programming) : tabletop roleplaying games. In many years, I have made about 10+ apps for RPG : dice rollers, campaign manager, PC builders, map generators... My current project, I'm making an app that call Stable Diffusion and Ollama to generate scenario, pictures, places, background for NPC, in one click. With AI, now is the time to write an app that make anything you want, no excuse.
