What advice would you give to someone who is trying to teach themselves software development skills? I'm doing that right now, and I'm finding it easy to understand, yet difficult to implement in computer code. I want to move onto more advanced stuff, but I feel that I don't have enough experience quite yet. What skills/courses would you recommend I take? How did you get better on your coding journey? Any tips to make the process go faster? Thanks in advance!

Give me an example of some software. Implementations of models for weather prediction, CAD softwares, games is difficult, but most software is simple. Even the above softwares don't require the kind of today is served. What do you do in software?

In simple language, code is implementation of some logic into a set of sequential binary. It doesn't have to be complex at all! On the contrary, it's meant to be simple. If it isn't simple, your algorithm is logically unsound.
