    I do find the pipeline pretty funny:

    1. I’m bad at programming, I should find some side-projects to practice.
    2. I can solve some things, I should find some side-projects to put that to use.
    3. I can solve pretty much anything, given enough time, I really need to cut back on side-projects to free up time.
