All of my friends who have younger siblings who are going to college or high school — my number one piece of advice is: You should learn how to program.
Humans are allergic to change. They love to say, 'We've always done it this way.' I try to fight that. That's why I have a clock on my wall that runs counter-clockwise.
Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn.
Most of the good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.
Everybody should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think.
Coding, it's an endless process of trial and error, of trying to get the right command in the right place, with sometimes just a semicolon making the difference between success and failure. Code breaks, and then it falls apart, and it often takes many, many tries until that magical moment when what you're trying to build comes to life.
I think everyone should get a little exposure to computer science because it really forces you to think in a slightly different way, and it's a skill that you can apply in life in general, whether you end up in computer science or not.
Computer science empowers students to create the world of tomorrow.
Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering. When you finally get done and get to appreciate what you have done, it is like a part of yourself that you've put together.
You can do amazing things with code, and it’s only getting more powerful!
