Thank you for the response, I actually was with the opposite position as to being an art. I was literally just thinking “there is a correct way to do things, if you don’t use it, your code sucks”, and things like that. (Im watching a Linus Torvalds interview, and he was just talking about good vs bad code lol).
I agree with you, but maybe my problem is that I cannot focus on something long enough? I have started probably ~100 projects that would all be “the one that is for real”, and never ended any. What I said about having coded for many years but not having many qualifications is exactly that, I have coded in probably 10+ languages, all of them very badly and unfocused.
Right now I am working in a project for my brother (he doesn’t really need it, but it would be a nice plus), that is basically a flask web app where he can keep track of AV equipment. It is quite basic really, but not having the prior knowledge of how to structure divs and such (compositing / layouts), I really struggle to create a UI, so I just start copy pasting from the bootstrap documentation…
Maybe I should just double down on what I have been doing tho.
Thanks for the answer :)
