Treat learning to code like progressing your character in an RPG

This mindset has helped me and I’m sure some of you will relate, especially if you enjoy playing video games. When I encounter some difficulties/get stuck with code, I imagine how it is to encounter level 100 enemies in a difficult area of the game map when you’re just level 1 character. While playing, my mindset was always “can’t wait for my character to be strong enough to come back to this area of the map!” and coming back to it later and dominating. Same idea works for learning to code. It took me a bit to realize but now I relish when I encounter something difficult because I know on the other side I’ll be a stronger coder for tackling it. Keep leveling up peeps!
