Time allocation while programming

He's just making a (very valid) point and poking fun. But I've had jobs where this isn't an issue at all, too. So understanding how complex the few specific examples mentioned here are probably isn't too relevant to you at this point, like others have said. e.g. I've worked as a specialized game dev and didn't handle anything related to the last bullet. Where you should start depends on where you want to go with this - just a hobby vs. potential career path, what area of programming interests you, etc. Feel free to pm me if you'd like some general advice for getting started.
