That is the sort of thing you expect people to do in their first few weeks of programming, and we mods have all made that sort of mistake. But you are much more experienced than that.

It isn't nice for me to post this sort of thing, but I think you will not be happy making a career of programming, and you would do well to look for alternative career paths. There are all sorts of things you can do different from programming, and I think you will be happier if you try one of those careers.
