Progress report, and an ethical dilemma

I’m frustrated, but also excited.

I am beginning the next mod in my coding school today. There is so much to learn.

I’m frustrated because I want to be progressing faster, but also excited because I’m continuing on through the programming frontier.

I am very happy about where my wiktionary is at. The state of completion it achieved was more than satisfactory for my school assignment, but when I showed it to my friends, mentors, and peers it dawned on me that the wiktionary still needs a lot of work, and it is a far cry from anything I would consider as a magnum opus.

These feelings are partially fueled by the fact that most of my friends are career programmers who have accomplished far greater feats. I cherish this social system that incentivizes me to achieve even greater heights.

Part of me wants to stop and take a rest, but I know I’ll never forgive myself if I do. I have a duty to myself (and therefore everybody I’ll ever meet) to accomplish as much as I possibly can.
