The Angry Thread.

Luckily, when people go to university to study something they excel at (rather than because their friends say it'll be great and society says they should) they soon earn enough to offset that tax.

The key is actually excelling at something. Shame we're not allowed to tell most kids they don't. Obviously, I excel at being a massive twat.

Glossing over that somewhat...

I stopped 'coding' when I was about 17, as in programming rather than this twatting about with HTML and CSS and calling it marketing. So I've been pretty impressed that nearly 10 years later I've been able to pick up some bits and bobs on the journey to making a simple app that could well be very useful to about 40% of the population. Tonight I sat down being as Hayley was away for the night, with the view to getting some more of it done. Early on this evening I just churned out some code that I really thought I'd struggle with, so I was pretty damn happy.

About 2 hours ago I thought I'd go to bed, except for 'just this one little simple thing', which really should be just a little simple thing. It won't work. All the tutorials online, all the questions people have asked, they all point to the same answer. For some reason, that answer isn't working for me. I want to go to bed, but I know I won't be able to until I figure out why something so simple is so difficult, and then I'll be too annoyed to sleep anyway.

This is why I stopped coding.

This is why I never started.
