Writing code is hard.
It's hard for everyone, I think :)
Writing code is fun.
It's not fun for everyone.
If it's fun for you then no doubt you are cut out to be a coder:
Else maybe coding isn't for you.
Hint #1: Look for and steal patterns of how to do things from
the code of others. A pattern can be as simple as how
to handle command line switches.
Hint #2: Write lots of code.
Hint #3: Read lots of code.
The code you write in a year will be vastly better than the code you wrote
today.
Hang in there.
