I agree that coding is hard. This is coming from someone who's been coding for 15 years straight as my day job plus nights and weekends on open source. I've literally been working during 2/3 of my entire spare time excluding sleep (which is 6 to 7 hours per day).

I think coding can be easy and pleasurable.

But...

You have to start the project yourself. You have to start it with your tools, your language preference, and your ideas.

It gets harder when you have to adapt to someone else's environment, practices, requirements.

It is harder the further you stray from your ideal choices.
