Hindsight is 20/20, as we're still learning, its natural to be more inexperienced in scheduling and with the technical skills you need. Programming is a massive rabbit hole, there's just so much to learn and master, especially with ongoing life problems that are out of your control. I think its great that you still want to push through, and are actively observing how and why other people approached their game the way they did. Goodluck in all your future projects!
