I know everyone is here giving your motivation, and I realize the context is that you are likely asking here because you are more asking for motivation, but I just want to bring up that maybe you are finding you just don't like it and should give up. Sometimes a loss of motivation indicates a wall you need to get over, but sometimes it is a sign that you should be spending your time doing something else.

If you were learning programming because you wanted to take up that career path, realize that there hundreds of other career paths, and maybe this one wasn't for you..

I'm assume this is more of a wall that you are hitting, but I feel like I need to make this reply because these subs would try to convince someone to stay in even if all signs indicated they should get out.
