The Emotional Cycle of Change

There's this emotional cycle of change. The first stage in formed optimism is shiny and exciting. Then there's informed a pessimism, when you start learning about something and it becomes more difficult. Stage three is the valley of despair, when you feel like you're never going to learn this new thing or be able to write any code that works. And these things repeat themselves overtime, and you have to push through them to get to success.
