  • That’s the toolbox fallacy. “If only i had good running shoes I would be motivated to run.”.

    1. Youre swapping motivation for anxiety, guilt and frustration. Youre better off paying someone on fiver to shout at you.

    2. You won’t survive programming if you can’t get through this part. It doesn’t stop taking effort after you’ve learned the basics.

    3. The tutor won’t make it painless, or make it go faster really, and people just end up being agry at the tutor.

    You’re much better off joining a community/discord of people learning the same thing, or finding a project/thing you care for, and using common motivational tricks. With youtube/Twitch, it’s easier than ever to find people to help you.
