I feel that way about pretty much anything these days. The sheer volume of options and the complexity of everything is simply exhausting. Even finding food for my cat is overwhelming.

Oh do grow up, frankly.

When I taught myself to program, there was no internet. You went and bought an enormous, 800 page book (usually written by Charles Petzold) and you hoped to Darwin something, anything would be understandable and lead you to move forward just a little bit.

If it’s worthwhile doing it’s hard.
