[quote][i]Originally posted by Paul_J[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Cavey[/i] I can't stand coding, so incredibly boring when we did it in uni However, im stuck as a postman at the moment so should really do something to try and improve my life. [/quote] I've always enjoyed programming, ever since a kid on BBC Basic's - naturally progressed onto other languages growing up and always just found it really fun. To be doing it as a job is good, as writing the code and problem solving to find good efficent / maintainable / extensible solutions is fun for me. I notice a lot of people trying to learn to code these days, mainly because of the career opportunities or the media attention of films like social network, or even because it compliments their current skillset (e.g. quant developer). However, there's a new term forming called a 'Brogrammer' - which is someone who's heart is not actually in programming at all, but rather they see it as a route to money / success / fame (e.g. want to be the next Zuckerberg). The problem is, these people rarely actually enjoy doing the job and as soon as the clock hits 5:30pm they sign off and go home, not even wanting to look at code again. Not to mention when they try to fix a problem, they often just google for a code snippet and try to make it fit, rather than understand the problem and think about a solution. Each to their own, but I think you have to enjoy coding to really set out to have a career in it. [/quote]
