I think the intent is not to deter you from learning to program, but
rather to urge you in a direction less fraught with peril.  Rather
than starting by duplicating existing functionality of a complex
domain, you may find it easier to start by aiming for something in a
less-complex domain, or tackle a project that doesn't already exist
but scratches your personal itch.  As you succeed at smaller
projects, you'll have a better idea of how to tackle larger projects
in the future.
