🤔 Brief reflection

Today is a day with a truly big resolution and change.

[Dev] Stop Taking the Flutter Course. Go All In on Vibe Coding and Business.

At the point when I had almost finished the Flutter course, I realized one clear fact. I no longer had time to keep taking courses…

All these realizations are absolutely not mine alone.

The direct advice from someone I consider a startup-related mentor (for now, the associate pastor) played the biggest role.

Of course, the countless videos/posts I have consumed so far probably played a role too.

But no matter how much information I encounter through videos/posts, it does not seem to translate well into indirect experience.

The advantage of a mentor is that they are rich not only in information, but also in “experience.”

When I listen deeply and immerse myself in the experience a mentor provides, it is easier to have an indirect experience, and that kind of experience becomes tremendous inspiration for me.

In fact, I have heard about the importance of mentors until my ears practically grew calluses, but as expected, directly experiencing and realizing it is the difference between heaven and earth.

Anyway, going forward, I should maintain an attitude like today: building various indirect experiences with open ears, expressing my clear thoughts without adding or subtracting through an open mouth, and actively listening to and accepting the various feedback that comes.
