I thought learning to code would be way too hard for me at 42

I started the free Python course on Codecademy about three weeks ago, just clicking around out of curiosity. I was sure I'd get stuck on the first real problem and give up. But last night, I wrote a tiny script that takes a list of house prices from my work and finds the average, all by myself. It's only 5 lines of code, but it actually worked on the first try. I didn't think my brain could pick up this kind of logic. Has anyone else had that moment where something just clicked and it wasn't as scary as you thought?

Yeah that first working script feels like magic, just wait till you automate something boring.

Right? I just automated my weekly report and it feels like I won the lottery.
