Should I Learn to Code?
A 100% Serious, 0% Objective Exploration of the Obvious
You're probably here because you're considering joining the ranks of the tech elite, but let's be real, it's not all coding boot camps and coding zen. It's a never-ending cycle of debugging and debugging and debugging.
But hey, if you're still on the fence, here are some compelling reasons to join the dark side:
- Meet the most interesting people in the world: 22-year-olds with 4chan avatars
- Learn to speak in 3-letter acronyms and abbreviate everything
- Get to spend hours on end staring at a screen, wondering why your code isn't working
On the other hand, here are some reasons to stay in your cave:
- There's still a strong possibility that your cat will figure out how to use your computer before you do
- You'll never be able to turn off your phone
- You'll spend all your free time on Reddit, wondering why someone hasn't yet created a proper autocorrect feature
So, what will it be? Will you learn to code and join the ranks of the coding elite, or will you stay in your pajamas?
