Ask HN: What were your pains when you were starting as a software developer?

Hi there!

I am currently researching what different software developers go through when they are just starting out in software development world.

What was painful or frustrating for you when you were learning or studying software development?

What was turning you off when you were trying to find THAT first job to get the experience?

Thank you for sharing how you've felt (are feeling)!

PS: I hope it is an appropriate question for HN.
