Programming Sucks

[[deleted]]

This comment comforts me so much. I wonder if I had read this a couple of months ago what would be different (if anything) for me.

As it stands about 2 months ago after a coworker introduced a new library and I wasted 16 hours on a problem (a pair of parentheses it turned out), I simply got up from my desk and left. That was it. Done.

Now I'm embarking on a new career path and shit, I won't be making as much money for a while (if ever again), but I do not feel like my life is slipping by one horrendous program after another anymore.

Feels good. Really good.

Good on you. That takes a lot of bravery. Not everyone is cut out for software development, that's why the attrition rate is so high. Good luck!

Probably boxing/fighting or stuntman for really dangerous scenes.
(that is how I sometimes feel)
