I approve of people learning to be programmer professionally or as a hobby, I think it is a good thing.
But this repeated media phenomenon of people learning to code is something that really worry me -- it is like 1999 again.
It feels like when mainstream media writes that it is time to invest in the stock market; when e.g. Time write about how good it is going, it is so far over the hill that soon there will be a crash...
- moocow01 15y agoObviously nothing to do with more women learning to code (sounds great to me), but I share your fear. The hype makes me cringe a little bit. I wish it didn't but I've seen this cycle too many times. Every time there is an overhyped market, the deflation gets preceded with a media push of 'you should get involved with this' because its the wave of the future.
