   Programming is like sitting on a swing going back and forth between

   "I'm a coding genius"

   and

   "I'm the biggest idiot alive"

     @fribbledom More like a tire swing that's been set on a deep spin and random trajectory. Because there's also, "I LOVE WHAT I DO!!!" to "OMG! Why I no stick to labor or take up farming? Maybe I can drive a truck." "We're going to change the world!!" to "We can't even paint a bike shed." etc...

     Honestly, I'd quite like to feel like a genius sometime. My experience is more like:

     *code fails first time*

     I must have missed something. I'm such an idiot.

     *code works first time*

     I must have missed something. I'm such an idiot.

     @fribbledom "I really like the way this language makes things so easy" and "Why did they make this so hard?! I'm literally just adding two numbers I shouldn't need to do be doing type casts on integers!!"
