Where the fuck would I start, anon?

I would argue that programming is a waste of time.

Somehow you make me annoyed. Maybe you just don't find joy in programming or you have no idea what to do.

>>59590860
Fuck off with CodeAcademy, they give you wrong and ugly methods.

The brain is a neural network that can be trained like any other neural networks.
For example, once done certain amount of pomodoros (10 a day is my current amount), do something fun (I play STALKER or watch movies) or whatever you like to do.

Also, if you masturbate, during the ejaculation switch your thoughts to the "idea of programming", this will rewire your brain to associate your a pleasure with programming. As crazy as it sound this is actually works for me.

P.S.
Read (and re-read) "The War of Art" or download an audiobook if it's easier for you.

Have fun.

I used to do programming. But I'm probably obsolete now. Does anyone still use Fortran, Cobol, or Pascal anymore?

>>59592647
Doing the actual hello world bit is ez.
Reading up on where to fucking start, what editor to use, and how to even implement it, is the long bit

>>59589973
I learn programming by browsing /g/ through a process called osmosis.

>>59591168
give better alternative

Also, say I wanted to get learned on electronics/computer engineering type shit without making it a career. Would college be worth it or are there better alternatives?

Start with HtDP, it's the best beginners book ever made with proven success. Read the followup, PAPL too or follow that guide for theoretical CS

Delete X. Seriously, for a year completely nuke your graphical desktop and live in emacs or Vim. You can use the linux framebuffer to stream video lectures in the terminal or read pdfs.

I got bored out of programming after working professionally (mostly on embedded stuff) for like ~6years. Moved on to greener pastures

It might, but the main objective is to get your brain to associate programming with pleasure and not just something you have to do.

Motivation will get you started but it is discipline that will drag your ass to the finish line. The whole "reward" and "pleasure association" things are just little helpers to make "discipline" part feel less painful.
