Hi everyone welcome back to my channel today we are going to be talking about why everyone
shouldn't code and I'm going to get very in-depth with this in a very short second here but
before we go any further make sure to hit that subscribe button for more tech and coding
related videos and also shout out to some of the subscribers here thank you for your
awesome questions comments And feedback all these videos are based around what you want
to see and what you leave in the comments so if you haven't already make sure to leave
in the comments what you want to see.
OK let's get started.I want to clarify something before we even get started and that is when
I say not everyone should code there is a big difference between not everyone should
learn how to code and not code.
I am a very firm believer that everyone should learn at least the fundamentals are basics
of coding.
Something that I wish I learned in elementary school or high school.
I think it should be taught like Mathis or sciences at least to give everyone an understanding
of code and understand how it touches so much of what we do and how it really impacts our
daily lives.
But also to how it's building such a huge part of our future.
I also think that coding in the classroom or learning how to code in the classroom can
also close a lot of the tech knowledge gap.
It can make it seem a little less intimidating and even if you don't pursue coding
technology itself can then become a little less intimidating.
OK but let's get back into what exactly do I mean when I say not everyone should code.
Well, I want to start off by saying a lot of times people who are not in the tech industry
have this vision That the tech industry just revolves around coding.
Coding is such an essential part of the tech industry but it isn't the end all be all.
And this is coming from someone who is a software developer.
Tech jobs require more than just coding skills.
Many tech jobs don't require any coding.
There are so many jobs that you can get within the tech industry that require zero coding
skills that you can become a pro at.
So if you are someone who may be touched on coding or maybe just don't think coding is
for you don't write off the tech industry because there are still so many jobs Within
the industry that could be suitable for you.
Roles such as marketing product managers project managers and so much more don't require any
coding.
Of course, if you have a little bit of coding I think in general it always helps you have
an understanding of what is going on but I think more than anything have a keen understanding
and interest of what goes into tech is the most important part.
That brings me to my next step which is knowing a little can help you a lot.
And what I mean by that is even if you are taking a role in the tech industry that isn't
directly correlated to coding having a little understanding as to how these products are
being built is a huge advantage to you.
Even if you are just curious you
can
sit down with the developer and ask questions such as what programming language are you
using and why are you using it and of course when they are not super busy.
I know for me if a product manager came up to me and asked me can you tell me more about
our tech stack and why we use the things that we use I will be super keen on filling them
in as to what we are using at what is going on behind the scenes
and I think overall it can really strengthen a team and everyone do their roles better.
And that brings me to my next step which is professionals should evolve as technology
does.
And what I mean by that is one of my favourite things about being in the tech industry is
that it's constantly evolving And yes that can sometimes feel very overwhelming and feel
like you will never understand everything and
you won't and once you recognize that
and realize that everyone won't understand everything it
really helps you come to terms with it and brings you peace.
