I'm just starting to learn coding with the specific purpose of maintaining the Raspberry Pi-controlled Arduino boards that control our puzzles. I'm learning basics with Scratch 3, and I'm learning how to create a custom block and control its function, shape, and category. I've mostly worked in the service industry and maintenance/Demo since I left the Army Infantry, so I'm definitely kinda dumb; But I've also been selected for some of the more technical jobs involved in those fields, so I'm not stupid... Thank you for your input on the pros/cons.
