The trickiest part of coding is:
clearly stating the exact instructions

A lot coding, has nothing to do with writing code, and more about figuring out what code you should be writing.

This is so much harder than it sounds
the world is complex

Computers are instruction followers, they follow what you say, but they issue is they are VERY specific and pedantic and get stuck in silly ways


Also, be prepared

You will run into bugs
You will get stuck
Sometimes for days
It will be frustraing
Keep going anyway
