New programmers: what's your biggest challenge?
#1
I noticed that there are a lot of new programmers posting here. I remember how overwhelming it was when I first started learning. I'm curious - what are some of the biggest challenges you're facing as new programmers?



#2
honestly, just starting assignments



#3
Learning the proper way to organize development (Python). Folder structure, dependencies (import this here or there), include this chunk of code in a method or not? That sort of thing.

Learning the small differences between the languages I’d say.

Where to start really, its really overwhelming at the beginning and I struggle to remember the correct syntax, google practically everything



#7
Moving from beginner to intermediate/advanced concepts is always a struggle. So many beginner tutorials/videos but finding good intermediate content is hard.



#8
Not getting a headache trying to remember everything... I'm serious btw

Doing thins never made before or/and mixing pre made code.
On my thesis I used a softPLC running on a RaspberryPI and I need to connect a lot of extra hardware to it that was listed as supported by the software but use all together was trick and has was a new thing to do and no information was found in the support forum.
I also use a lot of microcontrollers in my work, most Arduino, and I need to do reverse engineer to the libraries when using pre made ones because of conflicts.

Starting things early so I had time to fix them when things went wrong.

Also accepting when something was good enough and where that was. Perfection is impossible.



#11
A big problem for me was GUI programming with C++.

hardest thing for me where the intermediate concepts taught at my college. i ended up powering through it, spending a lot of time in the learning center.
