I kept starting tutorials and quitting until I just churned out tiny scripts, like a dice roller, a grocery list sorter, and a tip calculator, and somewhere around program number 100 at my kitchen table in Akron something clicked. The syntax stopped feeling like a puzzle and started feeling like a tool I could just pick up. Why does everyone push big projects early when 100 dumb little programs would probably save beginners way more grief?
