    At least for me the most learning to program happened because I had something specific in mind I wanted to achieve and just go for it.

    Yes, the code sucks (And I rewrote it 3 times originally, it still sucks), but it’s not really something I particularly care about now as it mostly works as designed.

      I’m physically incapable of doing code “for the sake of it” something has to piss me off enough to want it automated. It’s stifled my theoretical knowledge but I can do a thing if I need to.

      It’s a good thing I have a big project to occupy my time. No shortage of problems to solve there.
