programming

I just read the post Hyperfocus and balance of Arc Riley from PySoy who talks about trying to get to the Hyperfocus state without endangering his health. Since I have similar needs[^bitten], I am developing some strategies for that myself (though not for my health, but because my wife and son can’t be expected to let me work 8h without any interruptions in my free time).

I try to change my programming habits instead of changing myself to fit to the requirements of my habits, though.

Since we already have two good reviews from experienced programmers, I'll focus on the area I know about: Python as first language.

My experience:

• I began to get into coding only a short time ago. I already knew about processes in programs, but not how to get them into code.
• I wanted to learn C/C++ and failed at general structure. After a while I could do it, but it didn't feel right.
• I tried my luck with Java and didn't quite get going.
• Then I tried Python, and got in at once.
