I don't want more coding?¡¡

I am in my 27th day of 100day challenge. things are going well, I have finished 12 courses on coursera. my Portfolio is live, I put 2 projects in my mind. but I feel tired and my mind can't stand anymore. what should I do to motivate my self?? put yourself in my position. I like coding and want it to be my career, and I have passed a lot of obstructions on last 6 months. but looks like I didn't get anything yet, there is a lot to do, this will take more time.. i started with python, then moved to java a little bit. then I learned django. then html, css, js then php, sql l learned git, matlab i feel every new field is taking you to the other field, and things will never end, i feel it is an infinite loop

I won't suggest you to quit instead rest a little. As a programmer quitting Is never the answer. We might get tired of coding because of many reasons. - Too much debugging(I'm a victim) - Long codes But giving up? Not a chance. Take a break then try to come back slowly. You see a difference.

I almost suspect that you have learned too many languages in too short a time. You are well positioned across the width, but what about the depth? Maybe it helps you choose your favorite language and learn it profoundly. I imagine the 100days challenge very exhausting. If I have written a difficult code for me, I need a break first. In this time I learn or write in the q&a section. I do not want to write a new code right now. And sometimes, if I like the code right, I want to enjoy my happiness that I wrote it. Quite apart from that, it takes time to test a code. Some bugs are noticed much later. And last but not least. Even coders are just humans. How much free time do you have? For friends, for your family, for you? Coding is my most important hobby, but in between I want to go away or read a good book.

Don't rush! Take a break, take your time to learn a programming language well, not only the basics. Learn one programming language, but learn it right without leaving anything to chance. This is important especially if you're want to do this for a living. Don't burn yourself out with too many programming languages, ask yourself what you want to do as a developer and pick the languages that are up for the task. This is my 4th month with JavaScript and I still feel like I need to review the entire course all over again. I'm interested in web development so JavaScript, as a programming language, is my priority. Set your priorities straight, work on your goals without tiring yourself out, spare time for yourself, friends and family. Things will work out fine, it just takes patience. Best of luck!

Relax, this feeling is a common one.... I suggest you start researching why coding is cool. Read about great coders and the challenges they went through or any successful people elsewhere. That might help boost your motivation. When you feel like coding again, choose a project you feel good at because seeing it functioning will motivate you too. Please don't leave this family, we need you

Koder King🐱 the break is good idea, but delaying the death is not a solution, cause it will come anyway.

when it comes to programming. Im also like a child in a candy shop. moving from concept to concept every other minute. this can be good as it gives you an bigger perspective of your environment. however after seeing the birds eye view, it is also good to revisit concepts to gain mastery. e.g. after briefly covering html, css, and js, i had to revisit all three individually to gain mastery of more advanced concepts in depth.

That is the curse of the engineer, you are outdated if you don't continue to study and they pay at little. I think that the best thing is to start your own business or invent something.
