Tech Matters

But don’t make other jobs feel inferior or useless.

I saw a tweet recently stating that we should quit jobs and start learning how to code so as to fit into this ‘tech revolution’.

Yes, tech has come to stay and would definitely affect our lives in years to come, but I think it’s also wrong to say the future belongs to coders alone. Most of the coders I know aren’t even as creative as the designers that help them with breathtaking User Interfaces or as apt in records as the accountants.

Learning how to code is a good thing — very good thing quite frankly.

But I’ve come to realise that if you have no passion for it, just don’t go there. I think this applies to every other journey in life. Because at some point, you’d hit a stumbling block and only your passion would make you stand up and keep pushing. I’m a design oriented person and I won’t lie, if I keep seeing errors in my codes I’d give up and drop it till later. You cannot see that attitude in core programmers — they keep pushing — hard!
