First exposure to real coding was in college - 16 bit assembly, then C. Never really clicked it all. Then I moved onto higher level courses in Java. It clicked somewhere along the way, I was able to retroactively understand almost everything in assembly and C that didn’t click originally. Magical when I sit and think about it. Almost switched out of electrical engineering in that original phase because of frustration and failure.

Super thankful I had an extra push from people around me, because I love it all now.
