That's what programming python is like, for sure.
Make one tiny mistake and your program will blow up. You have to be extremely vigilant when writing something as untyped and unsafe as python or assembly.

It's not all made hard on purposes. Some languages, like Haskell, try to make programming as easy as possible.
Only stuff like python and java, i.e. stuff used in industry, is oriented towards job security
