So, I recently got a spark of motivation. I’ve been watching developers streaming their dev sessions on Twitch at work. (I don’t know why, it helps me concentrate). I came across a streamer who was just putting on a good vibe in his stream. Guy was an absolute legend. The passion he showed while figuring out his current issue was awesome. I got motivated to just code after watching that.
Right when I got home, I fired up Android Studio and started working on a personal project of mine. The thing is, I’ve always had trouble ‘clicking’ with Android dev. I always felt like their were so many classes, and different ways to do things. I was trying to figure out audio playback, and that was more complicated than I thought it would be. So, I put my project down for a while.
Well, this time was different, I decided to show Android who’s who and what’s what. Wow, I did not expect to be coding for 5 hours straight. I surprised myself. The amount of Trello cards I was able to drag to ‘Finished’ was satisfying. The Android docs didn’t confuse me as much as they used to.
Maybe it’s from the experience I’ve been getting at my job, or the motivation from that Twitch streamer I got today. I don’t know, but I’m glad I’m back to making progress on this project. I’m also starting to feel like I’m ‘clicking’ with Android now :)
