I agree. When you've spend hours/days/weeks fighting the language to get 
something that [sort of] does [most of] what you want, you get a sense of 
accomplishment. It was hard, so clearly you've achieved something significant. 
If you fix a couple of compiler errors and it works, it must not have been very 
difficult.
