When you say “I hate programming”, you are most likely echoing the voice of many others that feel the same way you do about programming. Computer programming is the process of designing and building an executable computer program for accomplishing a specific computing result. There are so many broad concepts in programming that can make the learning process frustrating and build a sense of hatred in our minds. Personally, coding assisted me in developing several characteristics such as critical thinking, which is quite important to any successful person. The challenges and tasks in coding steadily increased my knowledge and brought fulfillment and excitement into my work life. I know how “boring” coding might seem to some people, some even think or feel they can never understand the dots and points of programming. For you to be reading this article right now means you want to change that feeling. So here are my tips on how I overcame the “not good enough” feeling. 1. Identify why you hate programming The reason most people hate coding is that they can’t seem to figure it out. This automatically makes them feel like they hate it. So, ask yourself if you actually hate it, or if you hate the idea of not being able to figure it out. Once you have identified the problem, you are well on your way to solving it and improving your interest in coding. 2. Work on your mindset The hate you have towards coding came from your mind. The moment I realized this, I immediately started working on my psych towards coding. Just like my attitude toward vegetables, I decided to focus on the benefits of becoming a good programmer. This method created a logic in my head that kept me interested in coding. 3. Be open to continuous learning Read code written by people because the first law of programming is “code is read more than written.” There are multiple resources all over the internet that I used in learning, with quality content for little or no cost. In programming, learning never stops. The more you learn, the more there is to know. Fully exploit these resources, and start with easier coding challenges as you steadily grow. 4. Start coding Yes, that’s right. The best way to enjoy coding is to code. As you explore several learning resources, look out for challenges. Try these challenges out yourself, till you get them. Trust me, there is a satisfying feeling when you see your codes run. These tips helped me, improved my interest in coding, and made me a better programmer. You can adopt them too. Good luck as you start your journey in programming ![]()
