Dealing with frustration is one of the most important things I teach as a computer science professor. This is a discipline where “ARRRGH why does it not WORK” is your daily life. Figuring out how to work through that, how to be psychologically healthy with it, how to find •joy• in it, that’s important learning. Hard learning!
Hard enough for anyone.
