#CodingJourney #LearnToCode #ProgrammingTips
Hey everyone! 🌟 If you had the chance to hop into a time machine and chat with your younger self, what advice would you give related to coding? I mean, imagine telling that younger version of you to pick up a specific programming language! 🤔
Here’s what I think I would say:
-
Learn Python! 🐍
Python is super versatile and user-friendly. It’s great for beginners and powerful enough to tackle advanced projects! -
Don’t miss out on JavaScript! 💻
If you ever want to dive into web development, JavaScript is essential. It’s everywhere on the web and it’s very rewarding to learn. -
Explore SQL! 📊
Knowing how to work with databases can really set you apart. SQL is essential for data manipulation and retrieval. - Get curious about Go! 🚀
If you want to dive into cloud computing or microservices, Go’s concurrency features make it a strong choice to understand early on.
What about you? If you could travel back in time, which coding language would you advise your younger self to learn— and why? 💬
I’d love to hear your experiences! Maybe you’ve discovered a language that turned out to be a game-changer for you. Any tips for beginners out there who are just starting their journey? Let’s share some insights and help each other out! 🌍✨
Feel free to drop your thoughts below! 👇😊

RUN!

Quit. I wish I would’ve quit much sooner than I did.

Become a doctor at all costs
Buy as much APPL stock as you can
Except for C, none of the languages are really in use anymore that were common. COBOL, JCL, etc are all pretty much dinosaurs.
So probably Python, then Rust.
Do I think they will have the longevity of C? Rust might, because of it working it’s way into the LINUX kernel.
Python because it is a good language to get started on and understand the flow of programming.

2.C
3.Python
Powershell the moment it released all those years ago.
Python in college.

Specialize. Being a generalist doesn’t help when you need to move up.
I have some experience with Java, JS, Python, Kotlin, PHP, and C# (very basic, I only have an AS degree and some basic personal projects).
I now work in IT (general support and net admin, primarily).
If I could go back in time and if I had to choose a different path, I’d go for data analytics and visualization. I did some basic projects with Excel, SQL, and Tableau, and I think it’s interesting. It’s not a programming role but you get to “code” (kind of, queries with SQL) and you also make nice and meaningful visuals. These jobs tend to pay well.
Other than that, I regret not getting into IT younger. It took me a long time figuring out what I genuinely enjoyed and was decent at. I could probably be a network engineer, or have a role in the cloud or cyber security by now 😢
I got my first IT job at 39 with an AS in programming/analysis and the A+ cert (neither was a determining factor in getting the job). It makes me laugh when I see posts “I’m 30, am I too old to get into IT?”
Definitely not Fortran… Can’t believe they taught us that in mid 2000s.
