"What do I do if I already know how to code or I find the class too slow / boring?"
There's always something to do or try. This is your opportunity to be a geek or to learn new skills. Right now (day 2) I don't have much but soon there will be lots to play around with. As a starter, I highly recommend tutorials on SoloLearn or trying some of my challenges.
With a Replit account, you can code anything you want and there are endless tutorials online. Just make sure you are learning and not just copying.

Try a coding tutorial here:
go to MakeCode Arcade (https://arcade.makecode.com)
I recommend the "Happy Flower" tutorial, especially if you are completely new to coding.
You may select "Block" coding if you have never coded before.
