Is Coding still worth it in 2024? (as an ex-Google programmer)

The first 500 people to use my link will receive a one month free trial of Skillshare skl.sh/techlead12231

If you could sit through a TechLead video and still don’t get discouraged, congratulations, you’ve passed the motivation test. 😂

Coding is the only occupation that I could think about, outside of organized crime, that allowed my lazy self to earn enough money in an Eastern European country to have a decent life.

my dentist once told me after around 10 years of studying that studying dentistry is not worth it and after 8 years of working he hates it , well now after 8 years of work he is getting a lot of money and lives comfortably , my point is this the typical point of view for any one who spent years in the same field, they feel it is not worth it , so it is not worth it for you , but for us it does , and we won't always be employees , after sometime we can do our own business . the field will always be there , but in different ways . it is changing but not dying. so we need to cope with it over time

I agree with you that some languages seem a bit peculiar, and spending three years in college might not be everyone's cup of tea. However, you can totally pick up coding on your own! Personally, I'm aiming to become a web developer, creating and managing my own company.

is watching your videos still worth it in 2024, that's the question

Telling people no need to learn code anymore and yet promoting for skillshare 😅 our guy is special 😂

I have never been more motivated to become a programmen than after watching this video! Cheers :)

i still remember the days when techlead actually did tech content

This is what happens when you become the tech lead. You start forgetting that someone still has to write all that code that is integrated into every small, medium or large business of today.

Techlead - "Travel is overrated and boring" Also Techlead - Travels abroad regularly

Thanks! Best regards from Norway!

This video just goes to show why some people shouldn't be making content in the tech space. Spreading this kind of false information can alter the way aspiring programmers think. You're essentially making people question if all the effort they are putting into this field is pointless. No amount of credibility gives you the right to strip people of their title as a developer, even if it is React development, people still went through an immense amount of work and effort to get where they are. You point out that people shouldn't learn how to code because it isn't what it used to be. Keep in mind that most people looking to transition into the tech industry aren't looking to become the next Mark Zuckerberg. They are looking to live a better and more fulfilling lifestyle, and by saying "to become a programmer -- is like becoming a janitor." You're taking away peoples aspirations and the hours/years of work they put into learning a skill like coding. My only wish is that people see this video as an example as to why just because channels have a massive following, doesn't mean that they are people you should look up to. You are strictly looking to make money off of this video -- and by doing so you are altering peoples minds with such a sensitive subject as this. If this sounds harsh -- that's the point.

He did not want others to enjoy the life as he does. Coding is still worth it.

Thank you for killing some competition for us :D

brilliant! Thank you!

I think you need more of these travels to get past the depression and get back to your senses.

Been writing music for 37 years and at the age of 50 just after just one year of python coding, have coded my own midi generator to speed up my work flow for writing music Was it worth it to learn coding at 49 years old. Hell yes it was worth it. custom software for personal use is going to become very popular.

Software development is not just about writing software, it is about solving problems creatively with software. Coding is one of many skills you need to be a software developer. AI will replace software developers? No, it will only help developers to do work quickly so that better software can be delivered in the same amount of time. Innovation will always be a human endeavor.

I have the Q1 Max and yes, it's on another level, but, as a (non techlead) programmer: 1. It doesn't have ins + del keys. You can chose between them and rewire them with via, but you can't have them both. As a programmer, it's a must (Intellij Idea shortchuts, at least). Or it's a bit painful. 2. It doesn't have home + end keys. Again you can choose between them, but again it's a pain. And you can't really remap any key to anything, as actually they key cap have different format. 3. You don't have print screen. If I could chose now, I'd chose the Q3 pro, I think it's a bit better. Other than that yes, this is the best.
