Python Pain - Why I Quit Coding

So, I used to code in Python for a couple years, starting when I signed up for an online Python coding course offered on Coursera by the University of Toronto. My coding journey was going great, but one thing that got on my nerves was Python's syntactical use of spaces. I had so many issues with spaces, and on a frequent basis: it alerted me that a 'syntax error' was present in my code, but it never actually told me where. So it would frustrate me every time when, after searching through giant blocks of code over and over, that it didn't run due to ONE SINGLE SPACE that shouldn't have been there. The level of nitpicking just didn't fly for me, so I gave up on coding after two years. Will I ever code again? Well, I don't know.

My apologies for the long exposition. Anyways, I made this animation to manifest my frustrations with coding into something short, sweet, and funny, for all to enjoy. Strap yourself down for bright colours, good vibes, and most importantly, NO POLITICS. Without further ado, it's showtime!
