I keep trying to “better myself” by learning programming, but I’m just a fucking moron, I’m not capable. That and I really have 0 interest in it, but I can’t make enough to survive as a single individual being a fucking moron…
The people who really succeed are the ones so obsessed with tech that they wrote their first app at the age of 10 and were in the high school robotics club.
only if the definition of success excludes having a stable, well paying position working for someone. I wrote some websites for fun at the age of 13, got into Linux at 12 but does anyone care? No, because that’s not commercial experience and that’s what matters in the world of job postings written mostly by non-technical people.
I learned this the hard way like 3 times lol

Yeah, that’s totally exactly what I was saying, thanks for being charitable in your interpretations.
People who do what I suggest are very interested and driven, and will pursue a career in these fields.
Nope. I only learned to use computers as an adult, and only learned programming incidentally as a tool for other work.
The truth is that it’s actually much faster to learn as an adult, you just have more momentum if you start as a child.
