This has always been my issue with programming. I can visualize how to build a chair, I know what I need to build it and I know what it needs to do. I know how screws work, and I understand when glue is applied.

But with programming it's like i know what the word wood is and I know what the word fabric is, but I haven't the slightest idea how I use any of it to make anything useful. I can't even start to build a plan because I don't even know what's needed for any specific thing.

At least you have an example of what you want to make, I don't even know what I want to make so it makes "figure it out" even harder lol
