How do you stay motivated as a beginner in coding?

I’m new to coding and recently got curious about how PS2 emulators like PCSX2 work β€” especially the role of the PS2 BIOS. I’d love to eventually build or contribute to retro gaming tools, but I’m not sure where to begin as a CodeNewbie.

What are the best programming languages, projects, or learning paths if I want to understand how BIOS files, emulation, or low-level game systems work?

Staying motivated as a beginner can definitely be tough! One thing that really helped me was using smart tools like GLB GPT. Their Free Claude chatbot made learning faster and less frustrating by helping me understand tricky coding concepts and offering quick feedback. Having access to an AI assistant keeps the momentum going and makes the process a lot more enjoyable!
