Vent: I spent 3 hours trying to decide between learning Python or JavaScript first.
I picked Python because the syntax felt less scary, and it's been way easier to actually build small things like a number guessing game.

Read somewhere that Python's easier for logic, JavaScript for making stuff happen on a screen. Like, Python's good for your number game. JavaScript is what makes a button change color when you click it. Starting with Python gets you thinking like a programmer faster. Then you can add JavaScript later to put your logic on a website.

Three hours on that choice is a whole new kind of tutorial hell. I mean, at least you got a game out of it. I would have probably given up and just reorganized my bookshelf by color instead.

Nah but for real, reorganizing a bookshelf by color is actually a pretty solid way to kill an hour when you're stuck. Did you ever go back to the game after that or was it a wrap the minute you saw all those options
