If I can’t figure a coding challenge out in 15/30/45 minutes for an easy/medium/hard question respectively, then I’m looking up the answer, and trying again.
To me, it’s not enough return on investment for me to stay stuck on 1 problem longer than those ranges.

You used to be able to win easier with even a mediocre idea because not as many people were executing on ideas.
Now a lot more people are executing faster with AI, so the idea itself is more important than ever..

I say the best programming language to learn first is the one you’re actually motivated to learn and won’t quit on.
Once you learn one it’s easier to learn a 2nd, 3rd, etc.
Yes, some languages do tie to specializations, but don’t get stuck deciding for months like so many do.

I’m so happy I actually put in effort in computer typing class in high school. I’m thankful we even had the class. I may not have become a programmer without it.
