Many people love to say that coding is an accessible skill (usually when they want to dunk on arts majors). While it’s true that most could at least learn the basics, that seems like an oversimplification of things. Truly great programming requires a lot of different skills, some technical, and a minority that are even artistic. 

Above all, though, most programmers would probably claim that one of the most important factors in being successful is patience. It only takes the smallest of errors to mess up the whole dang thing, and it’s never any fun trying to sort out a bug. 

Truly, to code is to accept you may be eternally frustrated, but at least there are memes to help take the pressure off it all.
