I thought learning to code meant you had to be a math genius

I was totally wrong after trying a free intro course on Codecademy last month. The first project was just making a simple webpage with my name, and it felt way more like solving a fun puzzle than doing homework. Has anyone else had that 'aha' moment with a specific beginner resource?

Yeah when you said it blew your mind I totally get that. I read this article about how they structure those free courses to give you just enough to hook you. Like they'll show you one really useful trick, something you can use right away, and then you're stuck wanting more. It's smart because it feels like a real gift but it also makes you see what you're missing.
