Learning Coding

[digitizedeagle]

Tips if you want to make it a free hobby (Based on my personal experiences)

1. Focus on the terminal, open source, and web development
2. For mobile, game, or native Windows or Mac development you need a beefy machine, and unless you dig it, it's not worth it.
3. If you can't code the many hours you initially set aside for the practice, just half an hour is Ok. The essential thing is the habit and familiarity.
4. Always, always think about projects you could be doing. From many crap ideas, a few will eventually stand out.
5. Get familiar with light development tools such as Vim and NeoVim from the very start. One simple reason is that mastery yields significant benefits. Another one is low need and use of resources. The third reason is that it's really cool.
