I already use it to masturbate five times a day. I see no relevance with this problem.

Can't find anything I can enjoy if I give up at the first hurdle, anon.

I don't know enough to know what I want.

Same, anon. I wanted to pick up something new not work-related like Golang. I'm a .NET dev. I did a couple of exercises but then just got bored immediately. If you want to learn shit, better do it when you're not an unc.

make a hello world and focus on fundamentals until something comes to you. you need to have direction to be motivated, a generic "i want to code" is really vague and provides no actionable path.


instead of thinking about the goal just pay attention to what immediately grabs your attention. play with the code instead of treating it like work. there are a lot of things you could dick around with that will indirectly increase your ability. constantly think of stuff that you could write, practical or not. maybe write a browser extension that saves the thumbnail, title and, url of any youtube video you click on. is it actually useful? who cares, not important.

maybe try writing a hello world program in every language you know of. then do the same but store it in a variable first. then make tweaks to all of them like echoing user input in place of world. then doing some form of arithmetic operation on numbers that the user inputs. try storing a different data type in a variable to see what happens. try using conditional statements with data types other than boolean. some languages like python will treat any positive non zero number and non empty strings as true

the options are endless.

>>109566818
"Test" is not a project. First come up with something interesting to make. I struggle with that as well.
That's the easy part, though. Soldiering through to get to the finish line even after the novelty has worn off is the hard part and takes discipline.
