Thanks for writing the article, Andrew. I've been trying this coding stuff for years but haven't gotten serious since last August. I'm in a real funk as I look for the next step. "I suck at this", has been a regular part of my internal narrative. Everyone says that it is normal to feel this way about coding but sometimes the bad emotions can completely blot out the sun. It was in one of these dark moments that I found what you had written and it made me feel like someone else out there really understood. I don't have a lot of tips or suggestions for how to make it better. Looking around for other people that also suffer and hearing their perspective is what is working for me right now. Thanks again.
