Yes, as Ken posted, we all started out as n00bs. Never let that concern you, the goal is learning and one never really stops learning coding, unless they give up on coding outright. Just keep at it and you'll have many a 'lightbulb' moment where what you thought was a huge hurdle suddenly makes perfect sense and you've conquered it. Apply that to everything you write from then on out and keep searching for those lightbulb moments.

There's a saying floating around the internet somewhere, I can't remember where I first saw it, but, regardless of the language, it's gospel truth:
If you can't look at code you wrote 6 months ago and be completely terrified at what you wrote, you did not learn enough.

That's the beauty and the curse of programming, there's always something new to learn and conquer
