I always hear people talk about how they want to get into programming and I used to feel that way too till I realized it's often not a want but rather a need. I got to have a problem that needs solving and that I need to learn programming to solve efficiently. That was quite an aha moment for me.

Wanting to get into programming is like wanting to get into sewing: Most people can literally just start with no investment but time. Whether you can become good at it is another thing - just like in any other area.

The problems to solve are plenty as soon as you are convinced that you can solve them.
