Programming makes me feel like the smartest idiot on the planet.

I'm stuck on a problem with a solution that makes perfect sense in your head, but just can't seem to translate it perfectly on the screen. It's really stressing because I know it's just one small, insignificant line that is making the program freak out but I can't seem to pinpoint it's location.

Then I find it. One single line pointing to a location that has the correct syntax, but the compiler doesn't catch it because it doesn't break the program. One single change of words and the program now works beautifully.

I'm practically jumping around in my room going, "ha ha i r smrter thin u!"

Sometimes, I type something, thinking "yeah, this should work". Then the error message comes up, and I'm like, "WHAAAAT!? Oh right, I forgot to add the '.attribute_thing' at the end of that variable. Geeze, work with me engine!"

Or something thing like that.
programming is 1% conception and 99% implementation
^ more like: 99% "CURSE YOU SEMI-COLON!!!"

Well, a good compiler will catch a semicolon error pretty easily.

The real problem comes from logic errors, when your syntax is technically correct, but your logic is flawed, like forgetting which variable is named what and assigning values to the wrong variables. Dear god that stuff takes forever to debug.
