Discussions about learning to code and working as a programmer often
focus on the perks and benefits associated with the field—things like
flexible job schedules, high pay (even for entry-level positions), and
opportunities to work remotely. But what about the job itself? From the
outside looking in, coding can seem like endless hours of typing
gibberish onto a computer screen—a task that, quite frankly, sounds
pretty boring. Do coders put up with fundamentally boring work just to
get those perks and benefits? Or is the work of coding significantly
different than what a newcomer might think? To get a solid answer, we
spoke with Cary Huang. The short answer to the question “is coding
boring?” is—quite simply—”no.” Of course personal preferences can vary,
but coding is so not boring for so many people that you’ll even find
coders jumping to the profession from much flashier sounding
backgrounds.
In this episode, guest Cary Huang sits down with TDS to
discuss what he does to make coding an exciting thing to watch. We tried
to round up some essential tips to help you have fun while programming
in this podcast.
