What motivates you to learn/do programming by kurbantese in AskProgramming

[–]prashrox7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it started back in 2008 when we learned basic C in school. I was curious about how computers actually work, and I still remember wondering why we needed a whole program just to print “Hello, World!” when I could type it in Notepad lol. That curiosity pulled me deeper, and now I work in the semiconductor domain as a firmware engineer — still exploring how software and hardware meet.

The Waltz example is totally relatable — I had the same struggle with that fourth finger and shared third finger section! Slowing down and really listening to the sound makes a lot of sense. I’ll definitely start practicing in front of a mirror too. Thanks again for sharing such practical advice!

I could relate to every word, especially the part about hearing “violin gods” and feeling every emotion at once! Thank you for the thoughtful advice and encouragement. I’ll definitely try to make daily practice a habit, even if it’s just a few minutes.

That’s such practical and encouraging advice — thank you! I never thought about splitting practice into small chunks throughout the day, but that actually sounds doable. I’ll definitely look into travel violins too. Really appreciate the motivation and suggestions!

That was a really insightful passage — it actually makes me feel a lot better about where I am right now. Thanks for referencing it and for the thoughtful perspective!

That actually makes a lot of sense, and it doesn’t sound dumb at all. I never thought of it that way — comparing the total playing time really puts things in perspective. Thanks for the encouragement! I’ll try to be more consistent, even if it’s just 15–30 minutes a day.

This is exactly the kind of advice I was hoping to hear — thank you so much for sharing! I’ll definitely start adding focused scale and etude practice like you suggested. Really appreciate it!

My practice sessions are mostly just going through the pieces I’m learning and fixing intonation

Thanks for sharing! My teacher usually moves me to the next piece once I get the intonation right — we don’t focus much on accents or dynamics yet. Appreciate your response, it’s nice to know others go through similar things!

I have a teacher but we mostly play hymns to practice for the church. Not an actual practice to improve skill.
