This is how 100 hours of C++ feels like
So to be very scientific™ about my C++ journey I draw a grid of 100 cells on a piece of paper and every time I spent an hour with active coding (passive learning such as YT videos excluded) I checked one of the boxes.
I am too lazy to google it, but you surely know that diagram of learning -- the one that shows how you feel confident when you don't know shit, then suddenly after having an idea about the scope of the subject, you suddenly feel stupid, then you gradually start gaining confidence again as you master the subject. (On second thought googling the damn picture would have been easier. Anyway, have you heard of sunk cost fallacy...)
So in 100 hours I went from hello wording to fairly complex stuff, and oh boy I am still so deep in that pit of feeling a dumdum. ;__; Like I look at code written by people having an actual clue about C++ and I still see stuff I haven't even heard of, and then I panic "Have I been doing the whole thing wrong?". But then I try to observe these feelings a let them go. They come and go, and how could something impermanent like that ever make me happy or sad?
