Why should I embrace coding? Your thoughts are appreciated

Question

Hi SoloLearner Community,

I would like to become a part of this community and would like your thoughts towards my onboarding.

I am very interested in "coding" and my drive comes from general curiosity and the potential benefits learning code has to offer in the workplace.

I would like you to share some advise towards why I should commit myself to learning how to code (your motivations.

I "learned" python and matlab years ago as a part of my engineering degree but otherwiset I am a beginner.

Ty,
Kyle

Answer 1

Okay thank you Xan for your response :)

Lets see:

I love problem solving. Especially logical problems .. I was one of those kids who LOVED (loves) math.

Ive also worked in a few large tech companies such as Msft (as management) but realized how understanding the tech/coding lingo is so important. This is my first step towards becoming more code-syntax-savy!!

I also think its fun! I have enjoyed the Java modules so far.

Answer 2

I don't think I can answer why YOU should embrace coding, but I can talk about some of the positives that have got me back into programming again recently:

1) I enjoy the fact that programming is like solving fun mathematical / logical puzzle
2) I enjoy teaching / tutoring (and I'd like to do more programming tutoring)
3) I enjoy the community on here (mostly)

You should try to find you own motivations though. What are your motivations? :-)
