I’d say code skills are useful for lots of situations, not only as job: it helps general problem-solving, exercises the brain, good knowledge to own. Actually, coding for hobby feels way better than working as dev (I have a 10+yr DevOps carreer, I’m thinking of going back as a hobby and seeking smth else IT-related)
I believe many challenges in life can be reduced to some common kind of problems, expanding the usefulness of problem solving skills in computing to other domains @programming@programming.dev
