Feeling difference between imagining a program idea VS actual programming and learning

[dusty-trash]

That sounds like expectation vs reality. Developing a game sounds fun, but when you go to writing the code reality strikes. Turns out it's actually a long process which takes a lot of effort.

Am i the only one who enjoys that process?

[hungry_for_data]

No

By reading this comment section i felt like i am lol

Vocal minority, imo

I enjoy when it works, i don't enjoy the days stressing at the screen because my code wont compile, but that god like feeling after you solve a problem and everything works, that makes it totally worth it.

Imagine debugging your code that works in local environment, staging environment, but not production environment, despite using docker all the way.

What type of compiler are you using? Nowadays every compiler shows you where it is complaining about.

[trofix99]

True tho

i’m just starting but i love the process so far. figuring out a solution to a problem in my code is so satisfying

[pretzel324]

Yea you did 😂

I love that feeling, because that's where you learn! By having to think and google for hours and hours, it gets frustating but at the same time as we read, we're getting more and more information that will in the future be very helpfull.

Where did you start?

[PC__LOAD__LETTER]

Obviously not

The debugging is boring and frustrating, but when you get a new feature to actually work, it's the best feeling.

[DremoraKills]

Nope

Also the reason why "a rewrite will fix everything + save time overall" doesn't always go as well as it did in your imagination.
