I’ve always had trouble getting into coding/programming because I’ve never truly dedicated myself to it. Mostly, this is because I kinda always lose momentum to learn it. I’m a heavy FOSS user; I love coreboot/Libreboot and am interested in getting into firmware development. I’ve already helped test hardware for Libreboot and enjoy learning about firmware.

I have just started to cut out gaming from my life to focus more on this. Maybe I should start with Python? At the same time, though, I feel like I should start with C, but don’t want to jump the gun too quick.

Feel free to share your stories!

    I learned Minecraft (and other video games) were made with coding, so I had to learn it to make my own.

    I was like 8-10 and found a tutorial on how to use eclipse. I thought I followed it to the letter, but it didn’t compile.

    At 12, my math teacher offered python courses, so I attended them and yeah.
