Not a dumbass, we all have to start somewhere, and the only way to really fail is to stop trying to improve oneself.

That’s also what in the oh so olden days set apart the script kiddies from the makers. The script kiddies found some readily available tools and boasted about their skill, while the makers tried to dig into the tools to get a better understanding, and ultimately be able to hack together the tools to better fit their needs. Many makers started out as script kiddies.

People nowadays often get introduced to programming in computer games, such as Minecraft’s redstone, and I don’t think that perchance is much different.

Next steps would be to find a programming or scripting language and start learning about common syntaxes and logic, perhaps even make your own generator!
