Coding. I just can’t stick with it and can’t find anything I’d like to make that interests me. any cod3 class I take I can follow chapter 1 and then I fall off a cliff. It feels like I’m wasting time if i try. I guess in my head I feel like I really want to know it, but when I’m doing it I’d rather be doing other things. Its more so I need to have the understanding because I don’t like using things I don’t fully understand. It just is such a time consuming thing.
It’s funny, I noped out of coding immediately after trying it when I was 14 for basically the opposite reason. It delighted my logical math brain and I wanted to know everything, and I realized I’d be really really good at it.
And just as quickly I realized that if I went down that path, it would consume my life. I would get a job coding, all my hobbies would be coding, and I would spend all day every day in front of a screen. That wasn’t a life I wanted, even if I would’ve been happy day to day.
I even avoid getting into the weeds on any technical computer stuff, because I know it’ll be a slippery slope.
