A year ago, during my senior year in college I have decided to write code every single day as a way to improve my coding skills. Today, I am happy to say that I've made it to 365 days without breaking a streak.
Was it worth it? Yes, definitely! Without doing this, neither Hackathon Starter nor Satellizer.js projects would exist on GitHub today.

Neat coincidence seeing this post. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon your tutorial for the tv show tracker application, and I went through it line by line. After that I decided to make my own web application and your tutorial was 100% what gave me the foundation and concepts to do that.
So thanks for the great write up, and ever since starting the project I've pushed every day! Only 11 days, but I hope I can get 365 as well.
On contrary, I felt the opposite most of the time - "I should be writing code right now instead of playing video games or socializing on weekends." But that will differ from person to person. Certainly not everyone will enjoy programming 24/7.
How did you get started with this routine? What was the hardest part / what was your daily goal (amount of commits/hours)?
thanks for sharing :)
