Code has a nearly mystical quality. It first looks like a hodgepodge of brackets, symbols, and words that should not be combined. Once you get the rhythm, every line turns into a dialogue. A command. A soft command to a machine. You type a few characters and a blank screen springs to life with motion, color, logic. The world simplifies to patterns and guidelines, and within those regulations you get to construct anything you can conceive.
Code only listens for accuracy; it neither judges your background nor your accent. While it rewards patience and punishes carelessness, it starts to talk back if you stay with it long enough. One bracket, one usage, one contract line each time, in that talk to talk that's in between human and machine, creation happens.
