Programming Can Be Fun

I've had a few posts where I've complained about programming on the computer.

I've just spent 3 solid hours programming and have enjoyed it.

I think my frustration is usually not to do with "programming", it's usually something else like:

1. Getting something to work that I know is a simple switch but I can't find the switch in the documentation and end up digging in code for hours only to find it was stupid
2. Configuring something
3. Trying to find some dependency - and then running into a chain of dependencies
4. Trying to build something that I know should just build
5. Dealing with forms
6. Dealing with logins and passwords
7. Dealing with security
