It took me waaay longer than the average to learn to code. It was about 6 six months of C++, and the most I could do was a simple command line RPG.

I almost completely gave up, as I couldn't grasp much of the topics and never took the time to actually learn full time.

I later picked up Java. One month in, started a project. A terrible remake of Oregon trail in JavaFX. But simply being able to create some kind GUI wowed me, and I got real serious about learning to code.

Now I look back at my original projects, and cringe (as well as laugh)
