Many people say that coding is hard, is it really true? Is coding really hard?

This is the question that runs through the mind of every individual that has passion for coding but have not taken the bold step of starting to code.

“Learning to write programs stretches your mind, and helps you think better, creates a way of thinking about things that I think is helpful in all domains.” — Bill Gates

The truth is, YES. — Coding is hard, but at the same time it’s fun.

coding keeps getting difficult when you are focused on the stress part not the fun part..

Here are 7 ways to make your coding life easier.

  1. Find the right resources.

Some tutorials can make coding seem harder than it really is, and not all tutorials might suit how you like to learn. Make sure to pick learning materials from good sources. Just because someone can teach doesn’t mean you’ll understand. Look for websites or groups known for providing really helpful stuff.

i was once in the position where i used the wrong resources to to learn programming and i ended up hating that programming language.

2. Learn the fundamentals.

It’s a common mistake for beginners to skip the basics or jump straight to the next chapter when learning programming.

This is where the complication begins. Take your time to understand the fundamentals, it’s the foundation.

3. Use code editors.

Leverage code editors like VS Code or Sublime Text to enhance your programming experience. These tools offer valuable features such as syntax highlighting, code snippets, autocomplete, and a debugger, making it easier to manage and understand your code.

4. Practice coding regularly.

The more you practice, the more you improve. Aim to code every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Consistent practice builds your skills and boosts your coding abilities over time.
