@jscholes@dragonscave.space @matt@toot.cafe First, the prerequisite of doing anything meaningful, I suck at math, and when I say I suck at it, I mean, I don't honestly know how I graduated high school, it's so bad. Second, the learning resources. If I go through some tutorial or other and I understand everything up to a point, but that one thing I don't get, then the rest of it means nothing because it tends to build on top of what came before. This isn't a language specific thing either. Probably my biggest pet pieve is object oriented programming. I hate it! I get the general concept, but it seems so unnecessary. I feel like I do a better job in programming Applesoft basic than I do any modern language. And I have actually made a utilities disk that never ran on actual hardware, but can run on an emulator. I tend to want to write everything in one file, even if it spans thousands of lines. In languages like Python, if I make it modular, I tend to hit issues making sure a particular module gets what it needs from another one, or I hit circular import issues I don't know how to sort out. then there's GitHub. I honestly can't read diffs. I don't know why, but I just can't do it. It's the same thing that makes me unable to deal with streams of numbers. And merge conflicts are even worse. without AI, I could never fix one myself.
