My journey into learning to code at the age of 50.

What means "fizzler4K" ?
My first gamer tag was "fizzler", it doesn't have any special meaning to me, I just got used to it over the years and I couldn't find any better name for all my hobby stuff. Sometimes I had to add another phrase to the word "fizzler", when the name was already taken, so I came up with "fizzlerHD", "fizzler73" and finally "fizzler4K".
The long and winding road
I started my programming journey in december 2023, almost one year later, I realized that learning to code is not a straight path and that you have to learn many things in parallel. To cut a long story short I made a list of my progress. The biggest mistake I made was my consequent language hopping and loosing focus on my primary goal.
