I do like the spirit of this post: it encourages those to get into programming. I would say, however, the deeper you dive into the programming stack, the more difficult it becomes. Just piggybacking on your array example. Say you end up transitioning from writing a higher level language like Python to a lower level programming language like C. You'll discover that an array is actually just a pointer, a memory address. And why arrays are awesome for their constant time access!

In any case, thanks for sharing and encouraging other folks to get into programming. It can be a very rewarding journey.

Cheers,

Thanks for the feedback @memattchung .
Yes, that is my intention when I was formulating this post. I myself is still in the early part of improving my programming skills, and I thought it'll be cool to document everything as I progress. :)

Great idea on documenting your progress. I suspect you'll look back, now too long from now, and be blown away by your progress. It's always great to take stock of everything you've learned and accomplished over the years. Good luck on the journey!
