@florinpop17 I once used my husband's computer to do my typing practice while he was sleeping and he finally understood why I hated his flashy and noisy keyboard so much 😆

"I've been learning to code. I am at Javascript but it hasn't been easy!"

It isn't easy. I don't think if you are coming from a nontechnical background that you will find this easy.
It isn't going to be!

LEARNING TO CODE IS HARD!
Especially in the beginning because you are learning a brand new way to think, to approach problems, and you aren't understanding why certain things happen the way they do. None of it seems clear right away.

It is even hard to understand the purpose of things. I remember learning about string methods and I literally said "Why don't we just type in the string the right way with HTML? Then we would never need to know about this for Javascript... Why is no one else thinking about it like this?" lol

It is so hard to see everything that is ahead because where you are right now, it may already seem like the mountain top is just a couple steps ahead because of the angle you are climbing at. Then you hit it ONLY TO REALIZE damn, you are barely scratching the surface.

I don't believe that learning to code is easy and I truly feel like the narrative of it is easy, is disingenuous but also sets you up for failure.

THIS IS NOT EASY! It is a skill and a hard one at that. BUT if you apply the time, really focus on what you are doing, really apply yourself, over time, you will still feel like a fool but a fool that finds their way out of a problem.

I don't think the feeling of "I am lost and don't know what I am doing right now." ever goes away, but over time you start finding out that you are pretty resourceful at great at finding your way out of difficult situations. The situations may still be difficult, and you may still need to jump into conversations with others to gain perspective. You will still need those great blog articles, search results, etc but you know you will find a way.

So it is ok if you find this hard. IT IS. That doesn't mean you are bad at it. It doesn't mean you aren't cut out for this. Just means you need to keep working at it!

YOU ABSOLUTELY GOT THIS!
