My cousin in Fresno said he quit his first coding course after 4 days because of one error message
He showed me the screen and it was just a missing quote mark on line 12, but he thought the computer was telling him he wasn't smart enough for this stuff. That got me thinking about how many people walk away not because the logic is hard but because the tool makes them feel dumb, and now I keep wondering if beginner courses should teach reading error messages before they teach loops. What was the first error that almost made you close the laptop for good?

Tbh missing quotes got me too, teaching error reading first would save so many people.
