cwkr:"what is that?"

me: "programmer humor."

cwkr: "but...you aren't a programmer....(???)"

me: "I know."

cwkr: "do you...know any programming stuff?"

me: "nope!"

cwkr: "then...how do you understand it?"

me: "I don't. that's what makes it funny :)"

You must now learn programming. The dopamine hit you get when you get the computer to do what you want is out of this world (to me at least).

Nice. Remember that everything is super complicated so don't get too ambitious too quickly. If you run out of ideas for simple things to make i can recommend

<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>

and make it more complex as you go + you get very quick visual feedback as you can see the browser making your project come to life. A great online resource for learning web technologies is https://www.w3schools.com/

ooooh thanks! also the website is for, like, kids to learn code so expect it'll be simple enough.
