I started learning recently from someone very experienced but it seems a little daunting.
was it easy for yall?
yesnt
no definitely not, programming is hard at the start, then is easy for a while and then gets hard when you try to actually become good (aka when you get your first job and notice that you dont know shit yet)
but since I started programming with a clear goal in mind (making minecraft plugins back in 2012 xD) the learning process was rather enjoyable
i am also trying to learn and it is very hard for me. i didn't spend a lot of time trying to get better which is one of the reasons why i suck at it.
i think you need to have set goals and times to finish it. like what do you want to program? what do you want to specialize on. there are so many things to learn
