Great thoughts!

Stackoverflow and Quora are the best for programming questions

We can't totally agree with this though. Quora is a terrible place for programming questions (actual code) and StackOverflow - is really good for finding questions that people have already asked - but most of the time, it's not the right place for new programmers to ask questions. It's just a false hope that they can speed things up. Consider forums like language or framework-specific like Slack, Discord, and Discuss boars. For example - you are 100x more likely to get an answer about CSS on the /cascading-style-sheets discord.

And yes - programming is difficult, but would you really say it's more difficult than anything else? What about walking? Or speaking your native language / or - anything you've already learned?
