Ten Lessons I Learned While Teaching Myself to Code
- ChrisRR 8y agoNormally I don't like these kind of posts as they're often full of the usual "learn javascript! Build the next facebook! Become a millionaire!" This post does seem to be from someone who genuinely understands that unless you learn to program in a way you enjoy, and you stick at it through the rough and smooth, you're very likely to give up.
- danso 8y agoVery interesting and impressive post: Clive Thompson describes what it's like to learn to code even after having a successful career for 2 decades in something else (journalism) -- and how coding helped him in his ongoing career. Also liked the link he provided as an example: "Don't Learn to Code -- Learn to Automate" by Erik Dietrich, https://daedtech.com/dont-learn-to-code-learn-to-automate/ https://daedtech.com/dont-learn-to-code-learn-to-automate/
