Coding gets much easier over time
Coding gets much easier over time.
1. You get better at breaking complex problems down into simple problems.
2. You get better at conveying your intent in code.
3. You get more comfortable with your tools.
4. You get better at verbal and written communication.
Sadly, new developers are the very ones most likely to suffer from unnecessary complexity. And for the reasons above, they're the least equipped to deal with any needless complexity they create.
I used to think coding was super hard. Turned out, my code just wasn't very good.
These three books made coding vastly easier for me, by improving my coding style:
Code Complete
Clean Code
The Pragmatic Programmer
In summary: Frustrated and considering giving up? Don't. Trust me, it gets easier. And over time, I've found it gets more fun too. :)
