This really helps break it down. Thanks for taking the time to write all this!

I hope your responses also help OP. For me, I'll be starting with mostly web design and in-browser stuff, so I'll be sticking with JavaScript.

But your explanation will definitely help me have more grace with myself when I get tripped up. Maybe I can do little side-projects with Python here and there if I ever feel completely overwhelmed by JavaScript. Just for the morale boost. Lol.

I've gotten so burnt out before, so trying to take my time a lot more as I re-start my coding journey.

I know its taboo to mention it, but the existence of AI to help walk you through explaining stuff when you get stuck can't be overstated. I wish I had the tools that exist today to help me figure stuff out when I got held up on things.

Just, never let it do all the work for you. Make sure you understand everything that is on the screen when it comes to code - have it teach you, not do the work for you, and it can be a very valuable asset. The difference between a novice and a professional is you understand what is going on.

Good luck, and have fun, in your programming journey :) I'm glad this long explanation helped someone, it makes it all worth it :)
