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!
In high school a learned a bit programming but I did not like it much back then. Later on a 386 computer I discovered qbasic with nibbles.bas (snake game) and gorillas.bas. I figured out how to more lives in nibbles.bas by modifying it’s qbasic. This made me more interested in programming and try write my own games in qbasic.
