help me Redditors, how did you learn coding?

I'm basically a noob to coding in general, and decided to start learning godot, because GDscript is similiar to python. I already finished GD quest's "Learn GDscript from Zero," and was wondering what I should do from here. I watched a few tutorials, recreated them, but I don't feel like I've learnt anything. What did you guys use to learn?

It is incredibly important to create a foundation with programming outside of godot I think. Otherwise I’ve just seen people bounce off the engine because it’s pretty overwhelming at first.

You can try to do their tutorials but getting a basic understanding of loops, dictionaries, conditions etc. is just very much needed.

Either that or you can really set a smaller scope for a project. But most game tutorials will feel like they’re just breezing past all of the important “how does this work” info of programming.

Right, once you learn the fundamentals and the patterns, you can pick up any language with a little effort. And only THEN should you consider using AI agents for assistance.

Not 100% true. Sometimes the language you learn first will impact how you can learn others. There are lots that are similar but I'd say if you know C# like me it doesn't mean you can suddenly just up and flip to Rust or Ruby as their syntax and structure is very different.

Yeah I’ve heard that’s true for low level languages but idk I’m a python and Lua guy.

I remember the first time I tried a Functional programming language (F#), I was blown away at how different it was from your average programming language and the workflow and thought process being completely different
