Figuring things out is a process. Don't expect to write production-ready code at first run. Every step of the journey informs the outcome and sometimes the destination. Code and logic change -- so learn to program in ways hat adapt to change. --- Try new things and concepts in tiny single purpose projects. --- Ask for help, programmers like to explain things. --- Ask why from your business users. Multiple times, until you get the context. Once you have the context, you can create freely and come up with better ways to do things. If you don't position yourself in this way, you may end up with people trying to control you like they would a tool or a sock puppet. Having people's hands up your bum is no fun. --- Fight for uninterrupted focused time. This is your spice and the spice must flow.
