• Spent a lot of time just figuring stuff out by trial and error, usually with Google and Stack Overflow open
• Helped friends with their own projects, sometimes just for fun or to see if I could do it
• Made a bunch of scripts for automating boring stuff, like cleaning up files or sending messages
• Learned how to work with people who have different ideas, sometimes it's a challenge but it's worth it
