I've known people who have tried to get into coding, where it was clear that coding wasn't a "calling". And they struggled horribly and suffered alot of anguish trying to figure out why it was so hard for them. And my answer was always: learning to code is fucking hard. For everyone. Staring at code for hours not sure why it's not working is something we've all faced, but those who find coding a "calling", who find the process of coding so magical and alluring that it's almost an addiction, they see the roadblocks as part of the fun. Because at the end of every obstacle that is overcome is a little endorphine hit, and is another leveling up of our problem solving ability, of our general skillset. Without that sense of calling it would be easy to give up, to chalk it up to "not being for me". But in the end, the draw wasn't great enough to compensate for the pain.
