The Road to Data Science Mastery: Part 2, Programming (aka going nuts)

This is what programming feels like to someone who isn't well versed in the field:

1. You learn about objects, vectors, functions, and for loops.
2. You begin an assignment feeling like a god.
3. You find out that your first lessons in programming didn't truly prepare you for true programming work. It's like being given a few lessons in karate and then being sent off to fight Bruce Lee. (Exaggerating, obviously)

It's a roller coaster of emotions and hissyfits. I thought programming was just pure logic. And you know what? It really is about logic. But there's a creative streak to programming in that you can accomplish a task through multiple methods. So, in a way, programming feels kind of artistic and can be difficult when you're not feeling creative.

It's all worth the effort though. I've never felt such accomplishment from any other subject I studied and practiced. 

Whelp, time to go back into isolation and finish my programming assignments!

P.S.

I should've made a post titled, "The Road to Data Science Mastery: Part 1"  and written about why I want to pursue data science. Oops.
