It's coding, it just isn't professional software engineering.
The first non-toy program I ever wrote was in BASIC, on ZX Spectrum 48, and although I don't have it anymore, I remember it was one of the shittiest, most atrocious examples of spaghetti code that I've ever seen in my life.
Everyone starts somewhere.
