What do you love most about coding?

Introduction

Coding

Programming is one of the most exciting as well as sometimes stressful job to do. Despite many failures, we are still here to do more coding. We love to code and make our ideas come into life. So let's discuss "What you most loved about coding?".

My Experience

I am exposed to coding since 4 years but recently I started giving more time to coding and developing different programs. In this process, I learned many things about coding.
I love coding because

  • We can build anything
  • It helps to improve problem-solving skills
  • It challenges our brain to think critically as well as out of the box.

Discuss

  • What you loved most about coding and why?

  • all those 'a-ha' moments when learning
  • finally getting challenging features to work when coding
  • seeing people being amazed at how much easier their lives are after deployment, feeling valuable and being well rewarded

overall feeling blessed to hold a kind of 'superpower' you could use to solve real-world problems most people would not. all that combined with the joy of exploring exciting new tech and browsing open source.

Also remember that you don't have to deploy if you code directly on production ๐Ÿ˜†

yeah, it could make you feel special at times. the key is not to raise your ego and remain humble at all times. having great social skills in the field is essential, yet widely underrated. the code alone will not always determine your success.

Yess, totally agree with you being humble and helping others should always prioritize. Success is mixture of many things and you mention few them. Also, success is subjective different for different people. So make sure to reach you daily goals to reach you final destination.

Ok so well, I started coding just a few years ago & it was such a fascinating experience for me. I loved how we had the power to create anything & our only limit was our imagination. It indeed felt super awesome, and so far all through these years, I learnt a lot of cool things & yes there are a lot of things to still learn.

Thanks for asking this question!โค๏ธ We came so far throughout our journey that sometimes we forget how & why all of this started... โœจโœจโœจ

  • There's always something new to learn
  • You can create something from mere ideas
  • Ultimately, coding is not about computers, but about people

I studied finance during university years, so I was not meant to be a coder. And I had always looked with awe to how "magical" coder/programmers are.

6 years on after learning coding by coding along to youtube tutorials, I still feel the same way.

The fact that you can think of an idea that comes up at any moment, and start working it in the same hour, then seeing it take a form in the same day, is really something.

You can't achieve the same thing with building other things really.

Definitely, if you think to build something else like physical object then I will cost you money in someway but with programming it will only cost your time which you can invest it.

I love coding, We love coding.

It's a bit like Minecraft. I can build a world and replace all of it or parts of it as much as I want.

Or is it Minecraft that is like coding?...
