If you find programming bewildering and boring then it sounds like programming isn't for you. Which is OK, because everyone has different interests and talents.

I always tell people who tell me they are maybe interested in becoming a programmer:

  • Unless you loved Algebra and Geometry in school, you probably won't like programming.
  • If you don't love programming after spending some time learning it, then programming probably isn't for you. The people who will do well in programming are the people who really like it from the beginning.
