Parker HigginsI wish I knew of a way to learn more programming without feeling totally crushed all the time by the weight of what I don't understand (especially given that what I don't understand will outweigh what I do, forever)
Christopher Kruse@xor find someone to work with? Pairing/code review is a great way to learn ins and outs of different ideas. I'm willing if you need someone (been meaning to build new things anyway).
@ballpointcarrot I'm in a setting right now where this is very available to me! (I'm doing a batch at Recurse Center, if that's a name you know.) But it's hard for me to get into it, especially when I feel like stuff isn't flowing.
@xor flow is hard, especially if you have a large goal. you can definitely get stuck in "analysis paralysis" when you see so much of a space for investigation (I do this constantly - more reading about things vs. just doing). Try breaking down things into smaller pieces to address smaller subgoals?
... That last bit is just as much of a self-note as anything...
