It works similarly for me with the motivation thing. I don't have anything against learning things but I wish it was easier to find information about more complex things than just the most basic stuff. It's the problem with all those courses. They're great as a "starter" but after that point, you're on your own in a weird void. The documentation doesn't help much as well. Tutorial hell is a weird place to be in.
Have you tried using chatGPT or GitHub copilot?
It's a last resort. I don't like using it and it's a 50/50 anyway. One time it suggests reasonable things, the other time it totally misses the point. I'm not sure if the suggestions are following best practices too.
I think making effective use of those tools is it’s own skill. They can give you bad results if you ask things too broadly. But copilot chat has become a pretty invaluable part of my workflow.
Oh well, maybe that's true.
