What does this mean? "how do you avoid being a croney that is just wasting time."

I guess I meant "how do you avoid wasting your time trying to fit in"<br />
<br />
I'm thinking it is a bit like managing tilt in poker<br />

If you're not building anything how can you run into problems to solve? Books can only teach you so much but experience is the true educator.

programming is essentially an extension of you or your thought process. What get's on the path are overcoming the challenges of a project

So, I should kinda think in line with end results, but tackle the problem at hand.<br />

There will come a time were you're just tired, and that's okay take a break for a few hours, or days if you have to, go enjoy life and you will come back. You also need to make this fun for yourself, and not a choir or something you do because you know how to do it

One day, I was sitting and thinking "Man, in the old days, people were craftsman... experts. Like those stories you hear of Japanese sword makers." I think that epiphany, lead me to want to specialize in Javascript. I feel like as humans in this day in age, were everything is instant, easy, and we're exposed to so much, it's easy to loose track of your path.

Exactly, I mean you gotta feel like what you are doing is an extension of something else.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
What do you feel coding is an expression of?<br />
Like, what are you trying to express or create.<br />
Just the program, or?<br />
<br />
Maybe a culmination of all the above, not thinking about it too much, and letting yourself take a walk with your ideas.</div>
