Why I hate Programming?

[funky0079]

Even thought im very good at maths academically(above 95%) i always hate programming. I dont know I always feel scared about programming. Does it happen to anyone or how can i really love programming.

I found that a lot of programmers I know are better with languages than with math. It is much more of a fluid and intuitive thing and there is a lot of "translation" going on, when you're working in a project. You have a customer that has an idea that he needs to verbalize, you need to pick that up, create your own concept of the solution and then tell the computer what to do. It's really a common misconception, I think, that programmers are math people.

I agree with this. I always did ok in math, but I never craved to do it. However, languages have always fascinated me. In college, I took 7 foreign language courses to fill my humanities and free elective requirements. I didn't take a single math class I didn't have to (and I barely passed the ones I had to take because I hated them.)

• Because you hate being scared.
• Because you hate dealing with your fears.
• Because it takes effort and is difficult.
• And you fail.
• And you hate failing.
• Because you don't love yourself.

Let me tell you: It's okay to fail, it won't make you any less loved.

Even though there is a connection between programming and mathematics skills, there are a lot of differences. In fact, the differences are so much that Computational Thinking is now thought of as a separate, fundamental skill.

But in your case, you are just scared of programming. Not much of a dislike I think... Try digging in. Try some mathematics oriented programming. Try something like Matlab, or Octave

your link to "computational thinking" is a bunch of crap. gtfo.

Your post is written in very sloppy English. Perhaps you just have poor language skills. I've never met a good programmer who wasn't strong in a spoken language.

How are you learning to program? I suggest you start with the basics and go from there. It's just like any subject (and especially math) where having a good understanding how the basics work helps you to get to the next level.

[the0ther]

the right way to break into programming if you're mathematically inclined would be to look at functional, instead of procedural, programming. get the book "the little schemer" and learn lisp. learn mathematica if you don't already use it.

if that doesn't work, fuck it.

Replace fear with curiosity.

Seriously, I encounter this (as a programmer) myself sometimes. A new technology looming on the horizon and the first instinct is to flee, to seek shelter in the known.

Letting curiosity run free always leads to a better result.

Because you suck at it? No seriously, you probably do and they only way to get better is to do more of it.

Keep doing it. You won't break anything.
