I failed at programming because, especially for a newbie exploring the whole field, it's so much difficult to stick to one domain. There are games, web, ai, mobile, cybersecurity etc.
You need to pick one and FORGET ABOUT OTHERS. Do you realize how much difficult it is?

How did you manage it?

great way to achieve nothing is to have this paralysis. pick one, do what you want, go to another when you're done, and the skills will follow you. are you retarded?

I started off with disassembling games, for which I used:
IDA
x64dbg

And loads and loads of debugging.

You have ADHD not autism
You shouldn't be doing programming
You should be doing youtube, something about your autistic interests that change every 10 seconds
At least with youtube you can be as ADHD as you want all you have to do is record it

You have no idea what ADHD is actually like.
ADHD is bothering to write an entire fucking GUI in Win32 that creates an entire fucking dialog box with all elements and IPC, and then suddenly losing interest because you realize you have to go through the entire fucking output byte-wise to replace "\n" with "\r\n".
>t. the most ADHD person you've ever met

I don't like mathematics so I just decided to never get into game programming and instead did systems programming where I hardly ever need to use it beyond a single logical step in some algorithmic equation.
As for what I did focus on, I just learned what I needed to learn in order to build the program I wanted to exist. I only ever had to learn like 1 thing at a time and not all at once.
I know all these things now but I've been doing this for actual decades and sometimes have to branch out. I doubt most people need to know all that shit.

It's easy. Why do you even want to be a programmer? Is it because you like websites? Do you like hackerman stuff? Are you autistic about Gentoo kernel flags? Do you want to make GUI programs? CLI programs? Do loud fans and server rooms make you hard?
Whatever it is, just lean the associate language or technology.
You'll osmosis info as you go along. Python is a good place to start since you can try a bunch of different things fairly quickly, though if I were to do it all again I'd start with C rather than Javascript. That's more relevant to my current interests though

this is why i stick to table top games. Im horrible at this. 90s education also got me literally every single tech class in a different IDE and environment. I was pretty much cooked.
