      I’d say code skills are useful for lots of situations, not only as job: it helps general problem-solving, exercises the brain, good knowledge to own. Actually, coding for hobby feels way better than working as dev (I have a 10+yr DevOps carreer, I’m thinking of going back as a hobby and seeking smth else IT-related)

        Sure, just don’t take out college loans for a useless degree. I have a BSc in Computer Science and it is basically completely useless right now. I can’t even land a shitty help desk job that pays fast food wages right now

        I believe many challenges in life can be reduced to some common kind of problems, expanding the usefulness of problem solving skills in computing to other domains @[email protected]
