Computer programming is not a sprint. It's a journey. Take your time, do a little bit at a time. You'll get there eventually, having fun along the way.

It is literally a form of art A lot more artistic than literature But less artistic than painting I love how its possible to put so much time and effort into a block of code, to the point where it literally cannot get any more efficient

I stop worrying about performance a long time ago. With my busy schedule, it's more of "how many lines of code can I do in an hour?" Simplicity is more important to me. :)
