Coding Humor Clause – Let's Begin
- Think of an idea
- Get enthused and open your IDE
- Wait patiently while software updates
- Write first blocks of code
- Test code, receive a weird error message
- Begin debugging
- Ask a question on StackOverflow
- Receive torrent of abuse for not reading the plain obvious update comment buried under a non-related thread
- Discover that the npm/gem/etc library you chose is out of date
- Update library
- Learn that this library conflicts with your current programming language version
- Degrade language to aĀ previous version
- Continue debugging
- Approach StackOverflow again with a debugging question
- Receive instructions to read aĀ related post.
- Read theĀ related post and realise youāre none the wiser
- Search Google and find another site that has similar code
- Start a new project to test code
- Realise thereās an issue with this project'sĀ code due to your retrograded programming language
- Revert to the original version of the development language
- Test code and discover that this code will only work in the context of a Javascript framework designed by some teenagerĀ in Estonia 2 years ago
- Scrap project
- Try to remember what the original problem was
- Restart project
- Stop after 15 minutes to continue with real life things like eating and sleeping
Happy coding!
But seriously this happens and unless you're an amazing coder the obstacle course of development will try to break you down. The real winners are the ones that survive regardless of what they come up against. Keep going, ignore the trolls, naysayers, negative people. Let me know how your programming journey is going.

This is why I hate asking questions on SO, lol. It’s either that or 5 minutes after I ask, I figure out the solution myself and feel stupid (again) for asking!
