I used to feel this way, too. However, every single one of us has their own unique circumstances.

I can't give too many details unfortunately. But, there's a specific step I took in my career, which was completely random at the time. I was still a student, and I decided not to work somewhere. I resigned two weeks in. Had I not done that, I wouldn't be where I am today. My situation would be totally different.

Yes, some people are very talented. But it does take quite a lot of work and dedication. And yes, sometimes you cannot afford to dedicate your time to learning something because life happens.

Be excited! This means amazing things are coming, from incredibly talented people. And even better when they put out their knowledge in public, in an easy to digest form, letting you learn from them.

I get that. But then I remember at that age, I was only just cobbling together my very first computer from the scrap bin. An honest comparison is nearly impossible.

When I see young people do these things, I get happy and confident. Hopeful for a better future.

When I see talent wasted in things like scientology, then I get depressed.

No need to be depressed. It's not a competition between you. You can find inspiration in what others achieve and try to achieve more yourself.

me too, and idk how to cope up with this... i see younger guys than me creating os, and i am here achieved nothing in life... i feel so sad, so depressed, my mood flips so hard, sometimes i feel like just leaving everything and getting away. i know it's not a competition and i don't want to win this, i just want to point at one thing and say, this is created by me. That's all i want and nothing else... But i have nothing in hand... And this happens every time... and i get depressed and start crying...

And for me, her existence is enough to keep me of getting depressed about my industry. Whatever she's doing, is keeping my hopes up for computer engineering.

I don’t really envy her because her personal life doesn’t seem as amazing as her cs skills. She wrote about it at some point, I’m pretty sure.
