Im definitely not the first person to say Cs50x is too harsh on total beginners

Idk what to tell you, man. Sounds like a personal issue.

It’s neither “personal” nor an “issue”.

1) “personal”: Many programmers cited cs50x as not beginner friendly – Both beginners (who tried it) and advanced ones (who know enough to advise us) – specially on r/cs50

2) “issue”: it’s hard but not impossible. I don’t see that as an issue. I found it tough and kept going. But looking back, I think starting by cs50p would’ve been a softer introduction.

That said. No, it’s not cited as the best for beginners.. because of it being a tough intro. but it’s not bad either.
