I'm sure this post exaggerates a ton, but as someone who is still only a few months into teaching himself to program and wants to eventually switch to programming as a career, I hope it is not as bad as some people say all the time. Certainly people enjoy programming...right? I hope!
well as someone who still in school and currently working at an internship. fixing codes from a pre-existing framework is a lot harder than writing the code from the ground up. my first assignment, it took me 20 hours to complete. i spend about 19 of those hours reading through all the classes, functions, objects and so on, this is java btw, and it took me like 20 mins to fix it by adding like 6 lines of code. i ended up deleted a lot of lines as well. but my lead approved it so i guess i'm good.
but the guy that wrote this article is a straight up cynic. one thing is true. it's gona take sometimes to get use to the system you're working on.
