[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Coding" is only a small part of programming. I do it for a living. Learn to code was always a joke, because teaching someone to write doesn't make them a novelist.[/quote] This. When I hire developers, I’m looking for someone who cares deeply about solving problems with technology and also understands how it minimize the impact of human error. It’s more of a mindset and temperament than a specific set of skills. I work with so many junior people who come into the field with just academic study, and they can’t, for example, fix an OS issue because they never worked on anything outside of their classes. This means that the first time an issue comes up, they are at a total loss and waiting for someone to fix it for them. I recently had a supposedly senior test automation engineer tell me that she was blocked on a task because she “couldn’t open PDFs on her machine.” Those people shouldn’t be in tech. [/quote]
