Learn to code!!

nope

once you get on that train you'll find out it is NEVER ENDING SLAVERY

cert to cert to cert to outsourced offshored job

and you end up used and abused and penniless

that is NOT what life is about!!!

I agree that there are challenges with outsourcing and having to keep up with new stuff.

It does pay really well and when the economy is in the tank you never need to worry about where your next employer is coming from. Your always in demand.

If you get somewhat good and know a specific industry then the next move is CEO.

Ask how many would like the wash dead bodies as work...

You definitely need some kind of inclination

Learn to learn!!

Yeah, I think they would look at me like I’m nuts even if I tried my best to make a joke out of it.

To my point so far the response has been a solid no. I just don’t get it, have folks lost that hunger to learn and basically do what they are doing anyway which is spending time behind the keyboard

what do you want people to code??

a website?

an app?

Learn to come up with ideas and implement them.

code is just another tool.

None wants to work.

LEARN TO HAMMER !

It’s up to the individual to decide what direction they want to go. There are people that have been in a specific industry for years and know insider trade secrets.

If those folks began down the path of learning to code they will realize hey I don’t have to work for the man. I can use this to build a business of my own

Learn to shoot straight and clean maintain firearms.

You can do that to, you can grow tomatoes, go camping, hunt, fish. No one is taking that away.

no, but there is no sense in working for a tyrant terrorist structure!

FUCK IT!

Hmmm

If you want to get a little ahead of the curve, find an up and coming sector.

Perhaps look into smart contract development. That skill will be in large demand in the next few years.

I would suggest the cardano ecosystem.

Peace,

Interesting to learn to code! Where do you find the way to learn it?

Coding is very rewarding. It taps my creativity and logic at the same time. I love it!

But it's really not for everyone.

Everyone I know who has an interest in programming never actually invests the time needed to be good at it.

Or, they simply lack the creativity needed to keep themselves motivated, so they just follow a couple of tutorials and build a todo list or calculator and that's it.

So, what site do we learn it from?

I would pump the breaks on going to big to quick. Maybe start smaller like a website were you can write something positive about a coworker or friend. Give them kudos that they can link to from social media or wherever.

I learned the hard way with books but now I keep up to date with reading online and watching YouTube vids

Learn to Plumb

Learn to Build

Learn to Wire

Learn to Mechanic

Learn to Survive

It's tedious and not for me. I can code what I need.

Of course, one must start with first principles.

UI is just one component of modern frameworks. And that layer has been greatly commoditized.

But the learning can be targeted toward the skills needed for new frameworks and the investment may provide greater returns.

This is what was meant by “learn to learn”.

Now if coding <pick your bits and bytes> is for personal enjoyment. Have at it.

A person who can learn how to learn will not go hungry.

Peace,

Indeed…

Learn to learn…

So there is YouTube vids. Interesting. Thank you. I’ll check those out.

All great things that you should already know. This should be taught to you in your youth. It’s never to late to learn the above if you didn’t get that education when you were younger.

Being able to code is not an hour here or hour there. I have been doing it since 2003. You constantly are learning and reading up on things. It is a great skill to have though, especially if you like working by yourself and from home. Due to that being my path, I was able to have my kids with me while I worked. Plus I am always around for them.

My hours get mucked up because I admin servers and websites. Yesterday I got to bed at 10am because I was upgrading someones forum to new software and importing all the data to it. You are always on call.

For the older people, one of my friends is in his late 70's, he is half blind and he codes. He is one of the best coders I know and fortune 500 companies will hire him for projects. So you are never to old to learn. You might find it fun.

So programming is basically just learn a few small things then each language has slightly different ways of executing the code and learning a few syntax rules about the language you picked.
