The Codecoaster

Programming is such a bizarre series of ups and downs. One moment I have crippling imposter syndrome - I feel like I don't deserve the job I have at all, and feel like I should quit to save my boss the trouble of realising how awful I am and firing me. But the next, I have written a function which has a little complexity, is decently efficient, and I worked hard on - I'm proud of it, and proud of myself by proxy.

Like everything else in life, this process is pretty exhausting. I am naïvely hoping that it will get better as I get better at programming - but I know it won't. Oh well.
