By understanding the basics and theory

>How do i wrap my head around programming?
You don't. You use the AI. So sayeth the Satya.

It's learning another language and deserves the same respect. There is no golden goose or silver bullet. You need to put in the hours.
Go to a library and stay off of social media.

You don't read the source code of the library you're using. You read the documentation. There's still a lot of information to get through, it helps to have a tutorial or someone to hold your hand to point out only the bits you need for the small task you're trying to accomplish at the moment. Then you gradually pick up the rest as you go along.
You only read the source code of the library if you absolutely have to because of insufficient documentation or you think there might be a bug in the implementation.

why are you trying to understand a random ass library? you're supposed to read the documentation to understand the api and treat the rest of it like a black box. it takes months or sometimes years to fully grok even a moderately large codebase, even for experienced developers. don't waste your time doing that unless you have a good reason

Be a pragmatic programmer. It's easy to look at a list of methods and think you need to know all of them or there's someone out there that does.
Neither is true. Most people do not know most of the methods for whatever suite they're using.
Just learn what you need as you need it. If you happen to get something wrong, fix it when you notice it needs to be fixed.

He did say SDL afterall.

Imagine how many retarded chatgpt queries these massive data centers get to spit out OP's retarded question that wastes 1 city worth of electricity and water resources.

Sound like he's not mature enough as a programmer to tackle that yet.
