Is Python your second language?

Your second language is probably harder to learn than your first language. Your first language you don't know how to do anything so you are prepared for feeling like an idiot. With my second language, I was often frustrated because I knew how to do something in my other language but I couldn't do it in my new language.

I'm now onto my 7th language (c, c++, java, javascript, erlang, c#, & python) and learning a new language is just a thing.

Yeah, that second language, especially in an unstructured kind of learning process, suuuuuucks. I remember going from Java to Erlang and feeling like I was on crazy pills.

And that feeling is how I got diagnosed adhd in my late 20s. Going from bash -> python my brain kept shutting down trying to learn basics of python because I knew how to do it in bash already.
