A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

I don't think this is appropriate for everyone, but the path to me finally learning to code required me learning "backwards". 

I had to start super high-level and build actual apps. This meant learning and building in React before I truly knew JavaScript. 

Then, I learned JavaScript. 

From there, I expanded to C# (to make games in Unity). 

Then I learned Swift and Go. 

Now, I'm learning Rust and Assembly. 

This feels like the exact opposite flow they teach in CompSci. That opposite flow is what kept me from sticking with learning to code for about 20 years. Going the opposite direction and building real projects unlocked things for me finally in my 30s.

the theory is that learning fundamentals before learning languages makes you able to program well in any language
