I'm breaking the tasks down whenever I can and it really helps. This time it's different because most od the time I don't know the details, only find out as I go. That's the trouble with being a beginner

I'm doing this and it really helps. For me the main problem here is that I don't know all the pieces and time estimates are weird too. I guess it comes with practice but it's a pain in the ass :P
Does the "not-ending" apply to really small things though? I think mine can have an end, it's more of a demonstration than a serious thing.
I have my own meds and they're a huge help but there still are some things that they didn't solve but thats okay
That makes sense. I arrived to a similar conclusion so I'm switching the tasks up from time to time but I think I'll reinforce that because right now it's not planned out the best way. It can be improved.
Maybe, ironically, doing other tasks will actually help me accomplish more of the main one. I feel like it could work that way.
These are all very useful, thank you! The sense of urgency is definitely there, I'm trying to do things before my meds wear of. That's a part of the reason why waiting for help is so difficult for me
True, although it's very difficult to plan things when you don't know what's to be done;_;
Heh that's clever. I haven't come up with another project yet thoughhh
It's a last resort. I don't like using it and it's a 50/50 anyway. One time it suggests reasonable things, the other time it totally misses the point. I'm not sure if the suggestions are following best practices too.
I only described it here for context, usually I focus on the functionality itself, unless the bigger picture is needed even though it's a little difficult for me to tell which details are important and what can be omitted. Sometimes despite my best efforts there's some confusion and making it right is consuming a lot of energy.
It works similarly for me with the motivation thing. I don't have anything against learning things but I wish it was easier to find information about more complex things than just the most basic stuff. It's the problem with all those courses. They're great as a "starter" but after that point, you're on your own in a weird void. The documentation doesn't help much as well. Tutorial hell is a weird place to be in.
I'm using a similar API, I think IMDb wasn't publicly available or something like this? I don't remember exactly. I need Polish actors if that makes any difference.
Good idea with focusing on the main features. I wanted to try this at first but with web appinstead of the usual console app was a little awkward but I'll look into this again.
Currently the number 1 issue is extracting actor names. They don't come in json like an array or something, they're only available via parsing a page so a string with html markup and stuff. There was some confusion because when I asked about that, I might've described it wrong because people on the server thought I'm doing web scraping? I'm not sure if it counts as scraping if it's from an api though. I'll have to clear it up probably but that last misunderstanding was really stressful.
