After saying I would for many years, I finally stopped making excuses and learned to code. Since then, I have built 4 projects, hit #1 on Product Hunt, been nominated for Maker of the Year, and more. For me, the most difficult part was getting over the initial psychological barrier.<p>On reflecting on the last year, I compiled my thoughts on what I think really prevents people from starting into the 7 myths of learning to code. Once you get past those 7 things, I truly think anyone can learn.<p>I also logged the days I spent coding last year and believe it doesn’t even take that long: more precisely, 300 hours to learn, build, and launch multiple projects.<p>Do you agree with the myths? Are there any that are missing?
