Pretty sure movies are at least partially to blame for that first programming class :-)
Brave move saying that's stupid on lemmy lmao

Yeah it's wild how different software things are when you understand how they work
It really is! I can wrap my brain around some of it, as long as it's basic enough that I can keep the main loop in my head.

So yeah, pretty much everything:-)
