I found this bit of sage wisdom in a tutorial book that has always stuck with me.
Aaron used to have a boss named Rock. Rock had earned a degree in astrophysics from Cal Tech and had never had a job that used his knowledge of the heavens. He was once asked if he regretted getting the degree. “Actually, my degree in astrophysics has proved to be very valuable,” he said. “Some things in this world are just hard. When I am struggling with something, I sometimes think ‘Damn, this is hard for me. I wonder if I am stupid,’ and then I remember that I have a degree in astrophysics from Cal Tech; I must not be stupid.”

Some things are hard. Learning to program is hard. Learning a programming language is hard. Learning a platform is hard. Learning software engineering is hard.

It's hard and it's continuous learning. Thank you for sharing.
