I've always had trouble getting into coding/programming because I've never truly dedicated myself to it. Mostly, this is because I kinda always lose momentum to learn it. I'm a heavy FOSS user; I love coreboot/Libreboot and am interested in getting into firmware development. I've already helped test hardware for Libreboot and enjoy learning about firmware.

I have just started to cut out gaming from my life to focus more on this. Maybe I should start with Python? At the same time, though, I feel like I should start with C, but don't want to jump the gun too quick.

Feel free to share your stories!

I started it via Minecraft modding. My mouse at the time couldn't handle clicking a lot well, the button got stuck a lot when I did that. I wrote a mod that would click and release when I held down the mouse, and it helped me a lot until I got another mouse.
