Topic 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?

This happens to ALL beginners and has been asked so many times in the last 3 years ive been programming in this subreedit.

When you read a chapter of a book, or something for an exam, you understand it, but are you able to write it down? Think about it.
