This will be unpopular here but the flipside of that is I think folks overestimate how mentally taxing "learn to code" really is. The large majority of programming tasks are pretty rote at this point, it's just all hidden behind a veneer of arcane wizardry.
- tracker1 11y agoLearning to code really comes down to understanding algorithms (logic flows, and decision trees), a little bit of math, and the syntax in question. That's all you need to get something done for the most part. Getting good/great at programming means understanding more and abstract concepts in addition to features of the environment you are working in. Most programming tasks, once an initial project is started/templated out, can be done by someone that is effective, while not being a "great" programmer. It's a trade off.
