The neat thing about most jobs is you don’t have to be good at them to get paid.

It really IS ridiculous. I even took a beginners coding class in high school. In the end, we will always needs programmers so if coding is your thing, keep doing it.
But I would personally rather construct a small home with my bare hands than learn to properly program. (I am not good at it…haha)

This also applies to your manager and coworkers though.

That’s the key point I reckon “if coding is your thing” many people are trying to learn a complex thing they have no interest in.

Yes! I met someone who had no passion for programming, but just did it for the paycheck, but also had not reached a particularly good paycheck.
I asked, “If you have no passion for it, what carries you through the soul crushing aspects?”
And now he and I don’t talk about programming, anymore.
