This gives me shivers just thinking about all the sleepless nights I spent doing Comp Sci courses. 2 C++, 2 SQL, 1 C#, Database design, OO Design...arg I spent a good chunk of my early 20's staying up all night on assignments and drinking afterwards..heavily.
Don't let this discourage anyone, I haven't taken this particular course, but I think the more people understand what coding is about the better. Hopefully it gives you an appreciation that coding is easy, but doing it efficiently and cleanly is an art.
All I know is I thank my stars I am no longer a senior application developer, as I left that high stress low reward area long long ago. I still give props to those who develop and do it well, I know what it takes.
