Don't learn how to code, learn how to make things
I was getting ready to launch into my usual serenade of "totally agree, learn how to build tangible things if you can afford the time and money, coding is mainstream these days, hardware skills is what can set you apart". Until I realized the author isn't talking about building things at all. By "building" he really means "coding". And his point is to code instead of not code. Fair enough.<p>But seriously people, don't use the word "building" when you talk about virtual things. In your bubble writing software might be the only kind of creative work there is, but in the world at large, building is associated with the construction of tangible results. And while I am ranting: Don't use "engineer" as if software engineering is the only engineering discipline either.
