Or programming, or anything at all really.

I get asked this question often enough, and my answer is the same:

• Just start doing.
  • See something you like? Set that as your goal.
  • Break things down further, as needed, into manageable chunks.
  • You must have a willingness to learn, and the environment to do so.
    • (peace, quiet, safety, resources [internet, electricity, food, and water…])
• If you’re a complete beginner, start with learning about the subject/topic/thing.
• There are many, many resources in the information age, easily accessible via the internet.
  • Google, YouTube, random threads on Twitter/X...
  • We now have AI that you can talk to naturally, and it will do things for you.
• Pick a small task you think is within your reach, and start there.
• Keep working on projects, tasks, things—and you ought to improve over time.
  • It is a very natural/intuitive way to learn.

That’s it. There’s no single, ‘magical’ resource, because what I do involves several fields. Ultimately, it’s about controlling the flow of data-as-information (meaningful assebly) in a digital reality.
