I'm not a programmer, either by training or by trade. But I do an occasional bit of web programming for various projects. I spent a good hunk of the day today working on some PHP code, and I'm glad I'm not a programmer by trade. :-) It's interesting at a high level, but when it comes to debugging, I get sick of it. The debugging wasn't actually bad at all today; perhaps that's why I was able to make so much progress. But I know that debugging drives me crazy, and the errors I make are often very simple, dumb ones, which is what makes them so frustrating to find.
