Yes, easier. I enjoy making things more convenient for me later on. The creation of it may be irritating, but the end result is what I strive for. Computers are fairly easy to work with IMO and are very customizable. I've finished a fair portion of my cs classes and I don't find it as difficult or irritating as you make it out to be. You're just stating fairly obvious issues that you will encounter when programming, that I've long since known about and been dealing with.
I assume you're in high school? Just out of curiosity, what did you learn in your classes?
now, it's not irritating, and programming is not dull, by any means - it's fun and I love it. Debugging and making shit actually work, on the other hand, can get mind-shatteringly difficult and incredibly painful
(reverse engineering, on the other hand, is awsum)
trust me, once you're past the "let's code a calculator" stage (and yeah, turns out, hey - the world isn't made out of hackish scripts. Don't fool yourself into thinking you know code because you made something work on tampermonkey), you'll see how harsh the world can be
thing is, and I don't want to be an ass here, it just gets worse. Yes, it's obvious to anyone these problems exist, but I genuinely doubt most people understand the magnitude of this. I assume many of you have heard the whole "10% writing, 90% debugging" story and as exaggerated as it may sound, it's incredibly accurate.
Again, the last thing I want is to sound arrogant but you really look like someone who hasn't gone through enough just yet. Everyone who works with this jokes about a bunch of stuff, but guess what? Even though we laugh at it, it's mostly really true. It sucks, but we love it.
So unless you love madness, you better not stick around. It's just gonna get worse.
