Coding is a skill that nobody should be without these days. Or at least nobody should be without access to someone who can code.
Even basic coding skills can come in very handy no matter what your line of work or study. Take me for instance, I started out in construction: one of the most archaic trades on the planet. However many years ago the race to be the fastest and most consistent construction company, made the entire sector dive head first into technology and start using data like never before. And of course, if you want to really compete now, you need to know how to code and work with your data.
Even if you’re good with tools like Excel or Google Sheets, you find coding takes you to a whole new level. You can produce more consistent and higher quality work, faster than you’d ever produce manually.
