Why is this in /v/programming?

Start by learning c. The language has stood the test of time and will be a great place to start since almost everything is built on c. By the time you are proficient, you will have already learned many computer science concepts that will be extremely valuable to you. Don’t use IDE’s or other automation tools at first. Just use emacs/vim (if you don’t know either of those start learning. You can be functional with the programs in a couple hours if you put your head into it) Read comp sci forums, watch hacker videos, read books, documentation, and man pages. Comp sci is really about learning about how to operate complex abstraction systems, rather than actual coding. You can’t write a book if you can’t use a pencil, so when you run into something you don’t know how to do, find a tool to perform a task.

Remember that programming languages aren’t “magical portals into the computer” but programs built by other people to be used to create programs more efficiently. Avoid the urge to do everything yourself even though it’s tempting at first.

Don’t get caught up in political mumbo grumbo and use the tools that work best for what you want to do. The most difficult part is perserverence, but if you have discipline you can learn.

This article sounds like someone just learned about abstraction and is like, “see a computer only have 0,1 so it can’t language lol” binary is a language you twat
