Answer 2

That is how to start thinking like a programmer, and not like a coder.

What makes a programmer a programmer is not knowledge of a programming language.
And knowledge of algorithms, patterns, concepts, programming paradigms.
It's only coders who think that the whole problem is just to learn a programming language. An no. By learning a programming language, you essentially "learn the mouse and keyboard", not what you can do with them.
But the problem is that learning all these patterns-paradigms-algorithms without direct programming is wildly boring and inconvenient and impractical.
Therefore, the answer is - you need to start programming already. Stop asking questions on the forums.
