I agree with you 100% percent, the abilities you develop while learning to code can be applied in everyday life. The most important lesson I learned from coding is that problems that have solutions are opportunities to grow.

Thanks, @starstrings01 for commenting 🤝. One of the issues students find in learning programming is balancing it with their academics. But trust me you can find a balance, all it requires is effective time management and consistency.

personally for me, i have always hated the idea of just being an end user when i am free to be an admin. This is one of the driving agents that made me chose this path and i have never ever regretted it.

I think various frameworks make programming far more accessibly to those who may not even wish to know internals of computing, and thus people can much easier transition from being just a user to being more a user capable of enhancing and optimizing their compute/data access experience through some scrpting/coding.
