How do you guys practice honing your skills everyday?

Question

What kind of exercises, courses, routines, or habits do you use to get better at coding? I'm okay at it, but I've never made something worth while. i usually end up abandoning the project.

Answer 1

I just start writing code and see where I end up. I usually sit there for 30 minutes until an idea comes to me but sometimes I just start writing.

Answer 2

I do what I want to, pretty much. The projects I do are thing I want to do. That’s what keeps me from quitting. As for what I do to practice, I usually draw out site ideas and then try to recreate them with code. Along with that, I remake things I’ve seen (like my code “Bootstrap Card”. the original version is a physical card people can buy in stores, i remade it in code). And then I also make things that users can really interact with that depends a lot on the user (like “Binary Translator.” Without input from a user, it doesn’t do it’s job). And I love going to 365psd.com and trying to remake some of the things on there in code (like “Website Template”). I also code by hand which helps keep my knowledge fresh. That’s all for me. Good luck and happy coding!
