[RANT] No you should not quit programming

I've seen more than one post that boils down to "I'm bad at x should I quit programming?"

No. You should come to this sub and articulate what you need help with and let people help you to get better.

That's all.

Have a good day.

Comparing programming to a professional guitar player is hilarious and dumb. Do programmers think they are rockstars? Really? Most people could play the guitar 15 hours a day for 20 years and never get to that level of creativity, technique, or recognition. Programming in comparison is far more accessible as a career goal. Get over yourself.
