I think this demonstrates that lots of people have a desire to understand code but do not know where to start. 5 years ago I wanted to apply for Computer Science because I knew I loved computers. However, my math is not great and I would never have been accepted so I picked Politics instead. I dropped out after two months.
I am a self-taught coder but I think what I bring to the table is a reasonable understanding of how humans interact with my code. I test all my sites out on my grandma. If she can use it then I know it is easy enough to use.
Computer Science and software design are two very different areas. I think I would have got into coding much earlier if I had been able to apply for the latter.
