Are there signs that mean you aren't meant to be a programmer?

I read this article called "5 signs that mean you aren't cut out to be a developer". They say that if you need training, are easily frustrated, aren' creative and are bad with problem solving you aren't cut out to program. I like learning to program a lot but some of that applies to me.I hate the thought of not being cut out to do something I really wanna do. Is it possible I can learn to be a good programmer despite being bad at it? I practice all I can and try to solve problems, though I'm bad at it.

Doesn’t everyone need “training” in the beginning? Wether it’s self taught or from a traditional school? And isn’t training exactly what will make you better at those other 4 areas, especially problem solving? So... ya, the fact that the article listed “needs training” as a reason why you won’t make it as a programmer is kinda silly. You really do need to teach yourself to not get frustrated too easily tho, that part is true(maybe meditate, or listen to music when you’re feeling frustrated) so maybe some people need a lil more training than others, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible, you just need a goal set into your mind & enough Determination/Patience to conquer your life goals... also, everyone has creativity in them. You gotta learn how to apply it

Also I enjoy programming so I don't like the idea of not being able to succeed because of personal traits. And I want to learn to solve problems despite being bad at it or having obstacles.

Morpheus My PUBLIC code was 24 days old. However I practice everyday and I don't publish my codes because they suck.
