    What I said:

    You could mull over and discuss a million different ways to get started. The most important thing is to be decisive and just do

    We could go on for hours debating what the best beginner language, environment, project, etc is, but the important thing is that they pick something and do it.

    I gave them a specific thing to get started on. That’s the important thing.

    Like I said:

    Is it the best way? Who cares just get started

    That’s why I said you missed the point. I don’t think you read my reply at all and just stopped at the first word lol

      I get what you’re saying, and jumping in and getting started is exactly what OP needs to do. However, if they read your comment and take your advise, they might be inclined to take ALL your advice and starting them with a difficult language when they know nothing is probably a bad idea. It’s like you have embedded bad advise inside your good advise, and someone who knows nothing won’t be able to see that. If OP’s still reading these comments, just replace rust with C# or HTML/CSS depending on what you’re into and then reread KindaABigDyl’s first comment.
