Programming: Not stressful? Yeah, right...

Whoever said programming is a low stress hobby/career has
obviously never attempted to programm in ASM. For months I was
debating whether or not I should learn ASM, and for some stupid
reason, I decided to breakdown and buy a few books about it.
It's been about 3 months since then, and I've never been so
stressed out in my entire life trying to learn it. It's just too
difficult. I have a strong background in C and C++, so I thought
I'd pick up ASM quickly. Boy, was I ever wrong.

I have a deep respect for all of you ASM programmers out there.
I really do. I'm glad you had the patience to learn it...
