8 completely different updos same dress" sounds like the bride was testing your wrists like a stress test.

My friend went through the same thing with her budget app. She kept adding categories until she had like 40 of them and then just stopped looking at it. I feel like we all try to control everything at once and just end up overwhelmed.

The "learn Python in 24 hours" thing reminds me of when I tried to learn guitar from one of those "master chords in a week" booklets. I spent three days on the first page and quit for six months. With coding, I found that just building a dumb little calculator app over a weekend taught me more than watching 10 hours of tutorials. My buddy tried the 24 hour route and ended up copying code without understanding what if statements actually do. Slow and boring projects that break when you mess up, that's how you actually learn.
