Why programming is hard is why everything is hard. You’re not going to get good at anything unless you work hard at it. All these hand holding sites are worthless because all the stuff on them is so easy. But they are popular because people are always looking for the easy option. Want to be a good programmer. Buy a well-recommended book and spend 3 hours a day, 7 days a week trying to write code. Start with hello world and then build from there. After three 3 months of that hard grind you'll either have some idea on how to write code or you will find you don't have the aptitude to be a programmer. The bad news is even if you do find you can write code, the hard grind has just started. You'll have to repeat the process for other programming topics like data structures, programming patterns, testing strategies, understanding database design etc etc. Move forward five years and you're well on the way to being a well rounded developer.
