TikTok came in with short videos, collaboration tools, audio sharing, and has a realness that Instagram does not.
Also funny enough many Viners lived together in the same building so they could collaborate. We saw the same thing happen with TikTok.
Does this show up in your professional life?
First step would be therapy and go from there. It could be something showing up in all areas of your life and you just don’t realize it.
If you think grinding LeetCode would help, do it.
I would also suggest networking. Find whatever meetups are going on and attend and just talk to people. If there is a conference that is relevant volunteer and that gets your foot in the door. Also don’t be afraid to ask friends for help they might be able to get you introduced to people that are looking to hire.
Then I read till the timer goes. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes I just stop and zone out. But I don't stop to check my phone or whatever else could distract me.
Someone created two apps. Amytal would scrape Steam IDs to confirm what leagues the players were in. Bazbar would have a bot in IRC for #findscrim and allow us to chat with people.
Both apps could be run by sending commands from ingame chat.
It was awesome. Still no idea how they worked.
I think it’s normal to have those feelings when we compare ourselves to one another. No healthy, but normal.
Maybe this is where you really look at your life and what you want to prioritize and focus on. What legacy you want to leave behind.
Focus on yourself.
What did I do well today? Did I learn something? What did I accomplish? Did I improve myself compared to yesterday?
I also have a reminder in my phone morning and night that tells me “I am good enough.”.
Good on you for being honest with how you felt, it's something I still struggle with.
