  • Learning one language makes it easier to learn another, so dont worry about which one you start with. Basically the “language” or vocabulary changes, but the underlying “grammer” (as in noun, pronoun, subject, adjective, etc) is for the most part universal. Like knowing what a library, functuon, method, class, loop, variable, etc will be transferable.

    For a project, I dont know what you do for work, but you mentioned vba macros in spreadsheet, so id recommend building off of that. As someone else with adhd, the more interested I am in something, the more motivated I am in pushing through roadblocks when its not instantly easy. So id recommend trying to automate some task you do manually for work, something you know a lot about and know what the inputs and outputs should look like, and write something for that.


  • Yeah I usually have the opposite problem op has.

    I dont write as much code as people thing engineers do, most of what I do is translating what the user says they want to what they actually want

    But the code i do write is so novel and tailor made to our implementation of standards, that AI isn’t useful at all.

    What’s weird is the few times im doing the kind of work OP is talking about, is the only time its actually useful because it can generate boilerplate code that interacts with common libraries and tools, which it has a lot of training data on.
