I’m 99% certain I’m not cut out for development. Every time I try to follow instructions to do one thing, I get error upon error upon error. The code hates me.

Not everyone needs to be a coder! 🐶🐾🫡🫂
Ask chat gpt my friend
Been doing that lol but even then it’s not clear what it means
it's not quitting that makes you a dev.
I try but I have limits too. When even the basic command to install a thing doesn’t work, gets super frustrating
didn’t really get any positive feedback from writing code either.
it was frustration, banging my head against a wall and then just relief that i got it done.
no real excitement or enjoyment for me in it unfortunately.
What kinda code you learning?
None atm.
Don’t laugh…
Just trying to deploy my local environment to GitHub pages 😂
Ah, so is it like git commands got u down or?
Well, I had it working ok. Managed to push my stuff up but not without issues. Then yesterday my mac crashed and today I’m missing file and the basic GitHub commands don’t work returning cryptic errors. Chatgpt tells me to check package.json and I did and everything seems fine there. Not sure where to go from there.
hm, one thing you can do is, clone the remote repo into another folder.. then you have a backup copy. Then you can either copy the files there over top, and do another commit and push, or you could force push what you have. Either way, you won't loose anything cause you have the backup copy. I do this a lot when I git scared 🤔
This is good ;-) Just keep going!
I get it. I coded in R for several years. Now I’m dead inside.
Code hates everyone
Regularly feeling like a moron comes with the territory
Helps a lot to step away for a while even if it’s a day or two
... that's just development man. We build all kinds of automated tests, use debugging tools, architect in ways to help eliminate human created errors ... And sometimes it's still just a process of chasing down stupid error after stupid error.
Fuck I just realized I hate developing too. I'm going to become an electrician.
It makes it all the sweeter when it eventually does work though. Stick with it frustration is part of it!
