HONEY, THAT'S NOT JUST AN ERROR MESSAGE—THAT'S YOUR DREAMS CRUMBLING IN REAL TIME! Welcome to programming, where your first relationship is with Stack Overflow and your best friend is the red squiggly line!

Hello World, Hello Massive Ego

Successfully printing "Hello World" and immediately declaring yourself a coding genius is the most honest representation of a programmer's confidence curve. The gap between "my code compiled once" and "I should probably be hired by Google" is approximately 0.3 seconds.
