I am a programmer and a scientist, and my work as such mostly consists of fighting with frustration. And this is a surprisingly accurate description for everythiog that involves building things, especially for ones with fixed variables, like experiment results or required features for code. No matter how much you yell at the screen, the numbers won't change, and it's your job to build a somewhat decent model to approximate them, or rather use the existing model and tweak statictical weights until it works well enough.
Apart from beung frustrated most of the time, the experience of getting it right after numerous iterations is worth it.
