I'm a few years in and I haven't quit, but I probably should have.
I don't have a natural aptitude for this stuff. If it takes you 1x of grinding to learn some programming thing, it takes me 4x. Although aspects of it can be enjoyable, like when a whole project neatly comes together, or when someone gives me money for the app I made, I find it to be quite a soulless and artless "craft".
Nonetheless, I fell for the learn to code meme, I'm pretty invested at this point, I'm not half bad at it, I need some money, and this is the only lucrative skill I have, so I can't quit now.
