>Is coding right choice? "Coding" is always the right choice. Some people might even say that not being able to code is a form of illiteracy in the modern, computer-dependent world. That doesn't mean that you should solely focus on programming and disregard all other skills (like a linguist?), but coding combined with other skills and knowledge brings us the seemingly wondrous stuff we use every day. If you are going to do it professionally, you will likely never truly struggle with finding a job, though job satisfaction may vary depending on management/perceived impact. >I like building and working on new ideas. This is the right attitude - if combined with persistance. Remember also that programming in itself is mostly defined by not knowing something and having to google it. You are probably best off by first working your way into a language with a hello-world tutorial or two, followed by checking smaller code-challenges (Advent of Code, or just a list of "Common Coding Interview Questions") to get a more moderate in-depth view on things and topics to check out. (and also get into the problem-solving mindset) Afterwards (or alternatively), try to come up with something moderately small that you want to code yourself but don't know how to do (e.g. a small calculator employing native UI?) and research your way through it. Overall, I recommend against trying to memorise every little thing you learn upfront - there's more things that can be known than the human mind has capacity for, and you will have to face the more common concepts/problems often enough that you learn them anyways due to natural repetition or because you are annoyed that you have to look them up constantly. (e.g. binary and hex numbers, logic operators/gates, etc.)
