I still remember when I first started learning programming.

I was just 13 or 14 back then.

And guess what my very first actual programming language was? PHP!

(Yeah, people were saying “PHP will die soon” back then… and they’re still saying the same thing today)

To be honest, PHP isn’t the best language to build your foundation, and it definitely wasn’t for me either.

After learning a few basics, I hit the point where I had to understand functions.

That was a nightmare. It took me more than a year and several failed attempts just to properly understand what a function really is and what it does.

And during that time, even the thought of functions used to terrify me.

Fast forward to today, now I write multiple functions every single day without even thinking twice about it.

Funny how the things that once scared you the most can eventually become second nature 🚀

functions, functions, functions!
