Yes, Coding is hard, sometimes it can be very hard. Thankfully it can be just as rewarding.
Becoming a coder takes dedication and education (formal or otherwise); becoming a GOOD coder takes time and practice.
During my time as a programmer I've both admired the code of those who've been at it longer than me, and enjoyed the triumph of a problem in a new coding language solved.
Recently I had the pleasure of stumbling across two blog posts that sum it up perfectly and also serve to prove that the struggles I have are not "just me".
These guys are great, they put perfectly into words exactly how mind bendingly hard coding can be, how hard it can be to be patient and trust that practice and time will get us there, and how hard it can be to not abuse ourselves for not getting there faster.
brilliant!

We're proud to announce the launch of Kristin Pasternak Fine Jewelry!
During the summer Kristin gave me a call and a chance to prove that I could build a website better suited to her needs than the next guy. Happily I was given that chance.
Together we created a new company identity, and a great website that has a crisp clear design that did not get in the way of the beauty of the jewelry. Currently we're working on the shopping cart capapbilities of the site which will make this great site even better.
Working with Kristin is a treat, as a person who knows what she wants she has no trouble making a plan to get to where she wants to be then gets to it. If you have a chance to get to know her, take it!
In the meantime why don't you follow her on twitter - @kp_fine_jewelry

I'd recap my 2009 for you, but it was lack-luster enought to bore anyone to tears. oh sure, the clients are happy and thats most important to a developer, but what about me?
Being a developer, happiness comes with the completion of the more complicated projects, and so this year my focus will be on the challenge. keeping the focus on the challenge will make me a hapy developer and not only keep the clients happy, but thrilled.
