I'm following what I call the 100 Principle.
I don't claim to have coined the idea, but the practice is simple: if you're not good at something, do it 100 times. You'll either get better, or you'll learn that it's not for you. Either outcome is progress.
Right now, I'm recording 100 podcast episodes. In the past, I challenged myself to write 100 articles. I enjoyed the process so much that I ended up writing 177.
I'm a lead software engineer, spending a lot of time learning what good leadership actually looks like in practice. Recently, I took an online course to help me better structure my work and clarify my decision-making process.
I run a small app on a Raspberry Pi connected to my kids' TV. It tracks their daily schedule and acts as a motivator for chores at home. I'm currently rewriting the system to make it easier to extend. Adding a new tile or feature is more painful than it should be. The app is entirely client-side and stores its data in the browser, which has been both freeing and limiting in interesting ways.
