Roadmap AI - Process of learning a new skill
This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot Challenge : Transitions and Transformations What I Built This is a metaphor about learning a new skill. Below, I explain the metaphor, but I would recommend that first you try the project with the demo link and then read the explanation to see if you caught everything. This project generates a roadmap using AI, then you begin your journey collecting gems (= step/knowledge in the map), every amount of gems you collect, you get to play a minigame where you need to press a button to fill an energy bar to transform your gems into a new creation, every level is more difficult than the previous one. There's a little surprise when you finish the last level! Metaphor Explanation [⚠️ SPOILER ALERT] If you haven't played the game, I advise you to do it. The gems are equal to acquiring knowledge, but they are in the rough because knowledge itself is not enough, you need to put it into practice to make something out of it. To build something, you need a set amount of gems because the more complex the project, the more knowledge it requires, also they require more skill (remember the skill button?). Level 1: is simple and basic because starter projects tend to be like that and aren't that challenging. Level 2: a fog appears called "imposter syndrome", something many people feel when they start to get more serious and progressing, but still feel like is not enough and that can lead to disorientation, the fog doesn't stop you from pressing the button, but it requires more effort, because to overcome imposter syndrome, you need to keep pushing through and through until you make it. Level 3: insecurity holes appear in your energy bar, and you can't press the skill button. Insecurities can make us feel paralyzed, and they can appear no matter how much experience you have. When you click the holes (insecurities), you get a view of your previous made projects, as you do it, they dissipate. When we feel insecure it is a great idea to take a look back to what we have achieved, when we see that we have overcome challenges in the past we remember who we are and what we are capable of.
