Great and completely true points! In my first year of undergrad, we had programming lessons where we wrote C code on paper. At the time I couldn't even imagine what all of it meant and soon started hating to "code". Thanfully, I learnt a lot at my job, where I could finally understand the practical applications of coding. This made it all the more fun in learning and I started to like programming (something I could never have imagined in my first undergrad year)!
