My old boss told me to learn C first, back in 2012, and I'm glad I didn't listen.

He said it built character and real understanding, but I started with Python instead and built my first little web scraper in a weekend. That quick win kept me going when the harder stuff got frustrating later on. What's the one piece of starter advice you ignored that worked out for you?

My guitar teacher said to start with scales, but I just learned songs.

Yeah my uncle told me to start with assembly... glad I just made a dumb little website instead. Sometimes the boring advice just kills the fun before you even start.
