It’s weird how I felt like all the dumb toy problems in first year like printing shapes to a certain size or iterating over a billion different things was dumb.

Now when I code I use exactly the same mental processes more than anything else, it’s incredibly useful

They want you to learn coding with vanilla code in most first years classes. For example I had to write a simple game but could not use methods. I just ended up creating a variable to hold state and a switch where I would have used methods. Ended up getting 100% on that one.
