URL params and the mentality of 'giving it a go'

Update on individual project pages with the use of [slug], and feelings on my pursuit of a job in tech

In the process of learning how to create individual project pages, i'm currently learning about slug files and about how nextjs handles url parameters. This type of thing seems a little like magic to me and makes me take my time in really looking at how this stuff works. The conflict (as always) is that understanding things take time (specially for me) but I really want this done so I can deploy it already :/

I'm getting older and older but I really do want a job in tech. It's for me to believe that I could break into the industry but I have to. I have to believe in myself enough to give it a real go without talking myself out of it (i was lectured by my partner about this earlier). And if that doesn't work out, I can be satisfied I gave it a go.
