Fr, I've never felt more confident about my coding capabilities and I've even picked back up some old projects I had shelved indefinitely due to tha syndrome.

Now every shitty line of code I produce feels like polevaulting over 1000 other future applicants on my career path lol

Hear hear.

I never really had any interest in "personal projects" until AI came along. Not because AI finally gave me the tools to work on those projects, but because it completely changed my perspective on the craft of writing code and made me appreciate the value in actually creating things by myself, for myself.
