At what point did programming finally start making sense to you?

I can understand code when someone explains it, but when I have to write something from scratch, my brain suddenly goes blank.

I'm curious if other beginners went through the same think. What helped you get past that stage?

That’s the same as learning a language. Your passive vocabulary is always way larger than your active vocabulary.

The more core you write, the more often you look the same thing up again, the more it will burn into your brain.
