I think it’s more so important to get familiar with loop/event based programming. Most of my experience is in the request/response mindset of web requests so when I try out game dev, arduino dev, C# desktop apps, etc I find my mental model has to shift drastically

Loops occur so fast it’s pretty standard to have to put some throttling logic in the code which I’ve never had to do in web dev except perhaps the document.ready statement in JavaScript to make sure the dom has been loaded.
