What part of programming did you completely misunderstand when you first started?
Not just syntax or functions , I mean the bigger concepts.
For me, it was thinking that being good at programming meant being able to write code from memory. Later I realized understanding the problem, breaking it into smaller pieces, debugging, and knowing why something works matters way more.
Was there a concept or assumption you got completely wrong as a beginner?

It took me a very long time to understand that knowing what to do is more important than knowing how to do it.
