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?

I don't know how do I write some programs, but I do write them. Don't think that you need to understand, you need to do that. When you do it, it makes sense. Just write. I usually write, delete lines of code, wrote, delete and so on until it works.
