When i was 15 i wanted to try myself at coding and hacking.

Yeah a bit ignorant i know.

Anyhow，i randomly found a python tutorial i believe.

Got things running and started the first tasks.

Create a var， associate a string. Create a second var and associate a new string.

Concat them and you get a new string with both of em together.

Then i told myself that this was fucking shit and i quit.

15 years later，i regret more and more that i let it go but what a fucking dumb tutorial that was...

17 years of coding and i would have been a fucking beast.

    As a child, I played with electronics. I knew Ohm's Law and could read schematics. When I was 12 or so, I stopped. I wish I didn't.!

    In my opinion, Python is really bullshit for beginners. I'd rather suggest something like PHP, Lua or Javascript.
    I hate all these people who started with C++ or Python and don't know shit about other languages... Sololearn destroyed me...

    @PrivateGER @Johnni wish I started at 15

    You two (if not already) will be absolute beast when you graduate college or may not even need to go due to so much experience.

    @Skayo I kinda agree. Python is excellent to get things running and seeing results. The syntax is very readable imo. I personally started with python and then picked up Java later on. Have to agree that you should pick up more than one language to see the difference and design. Working in a strongly typed language gave me a lot of insights for sure, but I love the way python was designed as well.

    I get it really. Don't think it was a dumb decision or would condemn you for it. If you tried it, the instruction was not good and it made you think it was bullshit and you let it aside then fine really. I mean you can't force yourself to like something you think it is shit at the beginning.

    @AleCx04 ， yeah i agree. But i still feel like that was a dumb ass tutorial. But for sure if i really wanted to i would have continued.

    But i regret it.

    @BambuSource I think this is a chinese comma. I have had a client who sent me some chinese translations which also had these weird middle aligned commas and dots.
