Why Learn
Why Development is worth your time
Software development remains one of the highest-leverage careers globally — companies in every industry are shipping more software each year and the demand for engineers who can build, test and deploy is outpacing supply.
Learning to code unlocks adjacent roles too: data, ML, DevOps, and product. Even non-engineering roles benefit from being able to script, automate and reason about systems.
