Sometimes, I beat myself up for not learning programming earlier in life. I have like 20 years of experience in scripting for one game engine?
I've messed around with JavaScript and Ruby enough to be dangerous, and largely taught myself through tutorials and StackExchange questions. But, ever since I took a course in Java, certain basic ideas have clicked into place.
I've struggled through it, but my confidence is gradually improving with every new experiment or attempt. If I just generated everything, I'm not sure I would have the same insights that I do now.
