Yeah I wanted some kind of goal since I celebrated 2 years of not drinking. And I'm fully expecting to get into this to be able to cheat but at first I got to learn what I can do with it and how things operate. As well how to cheat...
Oh and I gotta get a laptop to learn on...
I have been successfully doing it for over a year now making various projects that I have wanted to build for a very long time and wow it is an awesome feeling seeing the ideas come to life.
It has also changed something for the better in how I think about all kinds of things. Really hard to word it out but it has been helpful in many ways.
Yeah absolutely. I can see all sorts of cool things that I could do with knowing how to code because I have a ton of great ideas anyway all the time and everybody's always needing help.
So let's see how it all works out!
A lot of people use VScode (Visual Studio Code) but I am super old school and do everything in a text editor. Just find which tools work for you and stick with them!
Friend of mine that I really respect actually had a computer folder of code that he had stashed away. Bits and pieces of cool stuff that he found useful. I always thought that it was really smart of him to do that!
That is surely a good approach. Searching GitHub and GitLab for how folks achieve things is good also. Knowing Linux helped me a lot but really is not necessary these days.
Yeah I used to be computer literate and now I do everything through my phone so I'm also looking at having to get a little laptop.
And then Linux is definitely another thing I got to get apart of.
Sigh... So much stuff to learn. And get.
It is so worth it! Probably the best hobby that I ever took up.
