Tip: Start with this one... the word you want is 'bear'. In English,
those two words have very different meanings, even though they're
pronounced the same way; "bare with me" actually talks about getting
naked, whereas "bear with me" means what you think it does. :)

I'm quite okay with you improving over time, I'm even okay with it
happening slowly. And I think everyone here would agree with me on
that. But that's why I think you should code only as a hobby, because
that means you're not disrupting anything while you learn. It's the
safe option. It's like learning to drive a car out in the back paddock
(field, for you non-Australians) - there's nobody else to get hurt,
worst you can do is bang the car up a bit... and chances are it's an
old beat-up car anyway, so that's not a big deal. You don't learn to
drive by hopping into a taxi and collecting fares.
