Yet still, I walk. Not with the hope of finishing, But with the courage to continue, Even when the roads are uncharted, And the challenge is eternal.

I thought the peak would bring peace, But it brought only questions: Where does one rest When the finish line dissolves Into infinite paths, And the only certainty Is the pulse of being, And the inevitability of the end.

But now the studies are done, The deadlines vanish like smoke, And life stretches forward— A labyrinth without maps, Trickier than any exam, A test without final bells.

I grinded, I toiled, Climbing mountains of pages and pens, Hope my only companion, Dreams the summit I chased. Each day a battle, Each night a quiet prayer, “Finish this,” I whispered, And the world felt conquerable.

And the Future came among them, unready and mysterious. But the apostles awaited, and at last it was fulfilled, and the result was unwrapped with joy. — Acts of Async, 2:4 #rustaceans

Reminder Not every side project must succeed. But every side project should teach you something. That’s the real win.

7️⃣ You did it alone Collab multiplies fun, keeps you accountable. Find dev friends, build in pairs, or co-create in public.

6️⃣ Perfectionism > momentum Refactor loop. Endless redesigns. Momentum dies when shipping is delayed by polish. Done > perfect, always.

5️⃣ Life moves on It’s okay. Priorities shift. The trick: design side projects to fit your life, not fight it. Tiny, scoped, joyful projects live longer.

4️⃣ No audience, no feedback You never shared the idea. No one knew. Feedback gives energy. Silence kills motivation. Talk early. Show messy. Ship raw.

3️⃣ Shiny tech trap You wanted to learn Rust, so you built… everything with Rust. The stack excited you more than the outcome. Tech is the tool, not the goal.

2️⃣ Too big, too fast Many side projects try to do too much at once. You burn out chasing an MVP with 5 modules and auth. Start with one solved problem.

1️⃣ They start as code, not purpose You get an idea and jump into coding… …but forget to define why it matters. Without a core purpose, interest fades fast.

5️⃣ Tech Twitter rewards novelty. Real dev work rewards durability. It’s okay if your best idea doesn’t go viral. Just make sure it runs.

4️⃣ Your best work isn’t always the most visible. Great architecture often looks “simple” because you fought complexity before it reached the code.

3️⃣ Premature optimization is real. Yes, Rust gives you control. But don’t rush to tweak lifetimes and unsafe blocks before checking your logic.

2️⃣ Readability scales. Obscure genius doesn’t. If you write code that’s clever but unreadable, you're building puzzles, not products.

1️⃣ Fast code doesn't matter if it solves the wrong problem. Optimize clarity before clocks. Know what to build before caring how fast.
