I can't do math for shit and I failed formal logic in uni. I'm not built for math. I just.... Don't care and can't make myself care. I've taught myself python over the past year and amd have become fairly comfortable with bash. Which has weirdly helped me with python?
Anyway I'm not very good at either yet. And there are huge gaps in my knowledge. But I'm learning every day.
I've done it on my own, and dove right into the fucking deep end with it which is probably the hardest way. But if I can do it then anyone can. You just need to want it. Why do I want it? I have no idea. If go crazy doing it for a living.
Learning python isn't jumping in at the deep end. Learning assembly or C would be the deep end. Also programming has little to do with maths anymore, and the maths you use for programming isn't the kind most people are taught in school.
Learning more languages always helps understanding ime. I’d recommend learning C.
