    To be fair, every time I code, I come away more frustrated and miserable than before.

      Hmm, you may have a severe case of not-being-a-masochist. 🤔

        Or using the wrong language. Okay maybe there’s a bit of masochism, but thats nothing compared to the joy when you finally get your code working.

    I think i watched this, or something like it. If it’s the one i saw, the takeaway was to not become a programmer, but to use programming to supplement what you’re already doing or pursuing. Imagine being a photo editor that knows how to write a bash script to automate a bunch of tasks, or a video engineer that can write or modify a driver, or a horse trainer that can make a sophisticated gambling algorithm so they win lots of money from their horse, that sort of thing.

      But then that title would be quite shite. At best, it could be “Not Everyone Should Become a Programmer”.
