- darrelld 12y agoEvery single time (and this will happen constantly) you come across a concept that seems foreign or difficult or even just unintuitive, instead of thinking "It's OK. Programming is hard." you're going to be thinking "This is supposed to be easy. What's wrong with me? I must be stupid." I wish someone could have told me this when I first started out. This was my struggle years ago when I first started. It also doesn't help when you have "superstars" around who further compound the issue
