How you deal with the frustration associated with learning programming plays a huge role in how far you'll go. You can't read a book to learn how to press on when frustrated. The best engineers that I've ever worked with had an uncanny ability to motivate themselves through those intense moments of frustration.
- vellum 14y agoMarco Arment had a good quote about frustration: "And there will certainly be hard parts: you’ll get frustrated, go to Google, find some guidance, bang against it for a while, then finally get it working and experience immense satisfaction for as long as you can go before hitting the next wall of frustration. Fortunately, as you get more experienced, you’ll hit those walls less frequently." http://www.marco.org/2011/02/01/how-should-i-get-started-with-programming-which http://www.marco.org/2011/02/01/how-should-i-get-started-wit...
