Why You Must Code

20 August 2011

First, let me state my opinion up front: if you are making a living using computers, and in your area consider yourself an “expert,” you should know how to program.

Simple. If you are a “social media” expert, a “product person,” and especially anything tied to the Internet, you should be able to program. It doesn’t mean that you will do it for a living, but you should know how, and do so regularly, if only to keep skills up.

I agree wholeheartedly with this – you don’t need to be able to do anything properly complicated, but you should have a grounding in how it all works underneath.
