Ask HN: Why does writing code physically hurt my brain?

I come from a traditional hardware / os level "Sysadmin" background. Over the past 4, maybe 5 years I've been having to write (and interact with) more and more code, and it literally clouds my brain, makes me very agitated, and makes me physically feel like I've had a seizure

At work we're moving from one cloud provider to another, and the new cloud provider is pretty much "scripting only" for administration.

Trying to work through the certification materials for said cloud provider, and it's literally got me feeling like I want to jump off a cliff due to their confusing syntax, and general wonkiness. At least with Linux, there's man pages, and the -h --help, etc. flags

So, to get to my point, how are non-developers making the switch to this "infra as code" paradigm without giving themselves a stroke?
