Coding teaches people to break down hard problems into different parts. This technique can also be transferred to several other fields. For instance, scientists handle problems by coming up with a hypothesis before testing them one by one. Likewise, car mechanics diagnose car issues by replacing one part at a time so as to know where the problem is. In coding, computer programmers will figure out the bugs by generating a hypothesis and tweaking the codes to test which one can solve the problem.

The continuing importance of technology and pervasiveness in our lives would require a lot of people with coding skills. It’s believed that writing programs will still pay well in the future. Even many other jobs that do not require the use of computers will require some form of coding. Additionally, when learning how to code people will also learn other important skills such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
