Maybe you should write flowchart before you start writing the actual code
I ussualy do it when I encounter a problem and it helps, also if you (generally speaking) have some programming problems
you could buy yourself an arduino board. I know it sounds stupid but if you play with it you for some time you will find programming easier

I get where you going, I have learned this early-ere at an internship, thanks for reminding me!!! :D

Slightly related, if I want to get into programming/coding/etc, how should I go about it? How and where do I learn the basics? Where do I go from there? Any tips or /adv/ice?

I should try Freecodecamp, is there anything specific you like to code?

Ex web dev here.

1) You don't code to create. you code to customize. This is probably your main issue. Learn wordpress and drupal. you have to get through that shit.

2) If you write code, it's code to customize something. The core functionality should be imported from somewhere else. Whether it's user access system, or a webshop, all of that shit already exists. You only code to tweak it slightly.

3) When you code, you must document.

4) If you need to actually literally code something from the ground up, use an architecture. You learn that shit from a software architecture book, or by getting a degree in computer science.

I just want to learn the basics. I have no clue whatsoever as to how it works and stuff, but I always found it intriguing. I guess I just want to know the basics of programming/coding and fuck around a little. It might also look decent on a resume or something.

You could start with Scilab, it's a free copy of Matlab. There are conditionals and a very simple language that will help you to understand algorithms. Start by solving problems involving matrices and later study high-level programming languages (high-level means it's a language that's very similar to human language) then pick any language you want. Good luck, it's a nice hobby
