What are you using to learn? I saw a post that was a coding tutorial subscription ... I didn't want to subscribe then .. but now I think I might. I don't want to fall behind. Everyone here seems a lot more technical than normies like me.

I actually have a background in software and computer science, and if you don't have that, I don't think you need to read code or study it yourself.
For non-computer nommies, like you, I think just understand the concepts at a high level and have the minimum knowledge to run a full node, which is something I don't know much about yet is enough.
Don't be in too much of a hurry :)
