I think I would have probably caught up real quick. because there is so many rabbit holes. I am looking at installing XAMPP to try out my PHP and now I have discovered Perl and now it interests me because I see one can use it with JavaScript.
There is so many things to learn and so many things to do. it takes some time to be confident at a comfortable level.
This is one of the most interesting and challenging things i have ever gotten into. I do not know why i took so long to get into it.
Maybe its the entrance barrier and people who talk crap about needing math to learn coding. it turns many people off. and then it does looking confusing and complex at a glance.
So if it were introduced at school. I would have probably started a long time ago.
But then its never too late.
I think my learning experience would have been easier. I think my brains was more plastic then. I rarely was tired. right now i do 6 hours and I can feel it. 8 to 10 hours learning is a lot. Working maybe not so much. I have to take a break a nap maybe a sleep. When I wake up early in the morning I am the best. and the it just goes down lol.
