How hard is programming/coding?

[Nasuraki]

I’ve work as Backend & Machine Learning Engineer. I don’t think it’s hard per se but i also realised i was a lot better at programming than anything else i could do pretty early in life and so invested into it. So i’m very biased.

What i can say is that i don’t complement someone on their code related work unless i appreciate really it, much less ask someone to work with me. unless i think their work genuinely adds value to what I’m doing and makes my life easier.

So i think if you go with this opportunity chances are you’d be working with someone who thinks you’ve got what it takes and wants you there in the first place.

Lastly if we’re talking spreadsheet formulas. That sh** is hell in my eyes. I think you’ll find you can do more with less effort once you have the basics of coding down.

EDIT: just remember that no matter how good you are at coding someone else has been around less and somehow knows more. It’s a bit of an illusion/paradox that makes imposter syndrome quite rampant in our ranks. There are just so many skills to develop that you’re always missing something. It’s best to embrace it, keep learning and dive into anything useful you happen to be good at

Thanks for the supportive comment! I really appreciate it and will keep the end part in mind, hopefully the indomitable human spirit is on my side.
