The real problem is that programmers have spent far too much time worrying about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times; premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming.

— Classic quote by Donald E. Knuth is classic.

But you speak of liking programming, and I emphatically agree with your assessment that that’s necessary to get good at it, and I like that you point out that obsession with efficiency quickly becomes an impediment to that.
