What is the hardest part about programming?

Finding the right keywords for your google search 😬

I agree with @afif google search skill.

Understanding concepts.
Sometimes my mind just shut down 🙈

Hardest part for me is trying not to get overwhelmed and burning myself out

When you need to build a feature that doesn't match the default way your framework was designed to be used.

Stackoverflow. It is very overwhelming as new developer but once you choose the right keywords in your Google search; Stackoverflow is an amazing resource.

Error Codes. This ties in with the keyword Google search posts below. It is crucial to read your error codes in totality and Google accordingly. Sometimes, it takes a few tries to find the solution and sometimes it's as simple as adding a "." where a ":" was needed.

Also if anyone is hoping to learn some basic computer science concepts; there is a wonderful podcast called Base.cs!

There's so many different directions a programmer can take. So it can be rather confusing knowing what is the best step each programmer can take. So for new programmers it can feel overwhelming since there's so many language to learn and tools to use that it is hard to decide where to focus. Then when a programmer does decide where to focus, it can often be followed with some second guessing.

The amount of things to learn out there! I continually battle with the feeling that my knowledge is going out of date.

For me its been
1-Getting started,
2-finding a path to stay on when learning on ones own (how do I get from point A to point B) - I know that no path is static and its always possible to take a side path or tangent but having a general idea of the steps would be help in figuring out what to learn next

Naming Variables.
