The Most Challenging Task in Programming

Question

As a professional, practising or newbie programmer, what do you find as the most challenging task of the trade? Be specific. Be sincere, pls.

Answer 1

Debugging. But I dont know if challenging is the right word. because so far the errors have been caused by simple errors made by myself and once found are very very easily fixed.

I would say frustrating is the right word. Finding after like 20 minutes of backtracking that you are missing a break statement, or are accidently assigning a value in an if statement.. that said it is also really the most humbling and satisfying aspects I have found so far in my journey.

There is nothing better than the feeling you get when solving your own code errors.
