Coding is the future
Yeah according to coders lol
Fediverse just skews tech heavy. The average person doesn't even know what a file is.

The jaypeg, the ping, the dock, the... er... the thing for nails?
Think of something simple you want to make, pick a language, and start reading/watching tutorials and doing smaller coding exercises until you feel like you can start making it. This is the easiest period in human history to learn new languages, easily and for free.
So I recommend Python if you just want general coding, dual booting Ubuntu or some other beginner friendly linux if that’s more interesting to you, or starting with html if website design sounds more fun.
Alternatively you could try R, it’s weird but I like it.
As a fellow bumbling novice, I hard a hard time figuring out where to start until one of my colleagues recommended C++. That is the way! I feel like C# helped train my brain to "think" in code.... if that makes sense. The patterns and mechanisms involved in C# carry over to so many other languages. There's my two cents for ya. Best of luck in your coding adventures!
You do know that C++ and C# are two different languages, right?
Meant to say C#, said C++ instead... THEN kept messing it up while trying to fix it..... So I ended up just deleting it. Edibles and lemmy is a tough combo. But I'm glad everyone else in the thread is calling out the good stuff.
Oh yeah, apologies for the above comment. C# is definitely a good option, especially if you use windows and love messing around with the OS

I'm not sure I fully agree with that approach for most people since C++ resources and tools seem to not be the user friendliest but then again if it worked for you that is amazing.
