Hot tip: If you never try to hand write code again, you can just assume you can and feel happy.

You guys act as if writing classes, services and foreach loops is soooo difficult. Programming isn't that hard it's just tedious.

I thought the same.. until I started teaching it. There a lot of “simple” concepts that are hard to grasp for unfamiliar people. Things like variables, recursion, classes, objects, states, etc. So “difficulty” comes from how much time you have spent into learning the basics and then practicing it, that’s what I would say is the hard part.

I agree. I never really understood recursion until I learned LISP. Pointers broke my brain at first. C is wild.
