I can't give too many details unfortunately. But, there's a specific step I took in my career, which was completely random at the time. I was still a student, and I decided not to work somewhere.

me too, and idk how to cope up with this...
i see younger guys than me creating os, and i am here achieved nothing in life...
i feel so sad, so depressed, my mood flips so hard, sometimes i feel like just leaving everything and getting away.
i know it's not a competition and i don't want to win this, i just want to point at one thing and say, this is created by me. That's all i want and nothing else... But i have nothing in hand... And this happens every time...
and i get depressed and start crying...
