How do i build projects that i want to build without a guide/tutorial?
It has been an year now since i wrote my first line of code and i have
gone through many ups and downs, from getting over reliant on LLMs
to getting to know the knowledge gaps that i have in core fundamentals
through out the past year,and 6 months ago i saw an old live stream of
the primeagen writing code without an llm, flying around with his editor
that piqued my interest to learn stuff, so i started with learning to use
vim then neovim on my windows laptop, then switched to fedora 44 ,2 weeks after its launch,then later shifted from KDE plasma to hyprland , and then started building some projects in go,
because before i was using js and i did not like the abstract nature it
had ,i wanted to know things better than what js showed me,and i like the
simple nature of go,these are the projects i built in this order:
1.A terminal Black Jack game
2.A backend clone of splitwise
3.an custom bare-bones implementation of a http 1.1 server
currently i am building a vercel-like application in go, but my main concern is that although i did learn a lot of stuff building these projects, i was not able to design the architecture,think on my own what
should my design be, there was no "my-flavor" in these projects, i either
had a guide or the spec files or had gemini break the project into
small milestones and assignments to achieve each milestone like every guide does,i want to know how do people build projects which truly on their own , like research stuff,think of the high level and low level design ? implementation does not seem like a big enough difficulty to me
compared to these
