Programming is not hard. Getting people to buy your product or give you money... that's hard.

  Being bad at programming is not hard, anyway.

    I knew I was going to get downvoted to oblivion for that comment. But I still firmly believe it. People are much harder to deal with. Much more dynamic. I'm confident the computer would not have downvoted me :) BTW you apparently have a gazillion repo's in github but no blog ... writing is much harder than programming IMHO.

      That's a non-sensical statement. Certain types of writing may be harder than certain types of programming. And vice versa.

        I'm just joking around and slightly jaded cause business is going slow.

      I have a blog and have written a book. However, I'm between blogging software at the moment.

        I was just joking. It wasn't meant to be a personal attack. Hey its just my opinion that engineering is an easier problem than other business activities. Programming is more predictable. You can fix bad programmers. Just a curious question... was writing the book harder than programming?
