Graduated with a criminology degree, do work with vocational rehab and have done random stints of juvenile services. I don't have a tech background, but definitely have an interest in tech stuff, I'd say easily moreso than the average citizen.
But like, I've tried to learn HTML and I couldn't get past the first few Khan Academy lessons lol. The logic it used just didn't jive with my brain.
Yeah, coding is not for everyone. You can't force it.
That‘s probably because HTML doesn‘t actually has any logic. You basically just need to remember things and what to put where. You should try a programming language, which actually has logic and is therefore easier to understand (imo). The easiest language you can start with is probably python.
Those days are (currently) behind me. I tried to do that while fresh out of college, a decade ago. Lol now my current job/life don't leave me any time/willpower to want to learn that. In the future, hopefully, but not right now.
