In 2018, I finally taught myself to code. I was 37 years old. I say "finally" because I'd struggled, and failed for almost half a decade. I had changed careers from senior corporate lawyer to product and commercial person, and then had my startup (that failed). Over the years I made notes of what worked, and what did not. Those notes became my map. In 2019, I joined a startup as an engineer. My first developer job! I had applied to 4 places and got 4 offers. Not because I knew more code than others, but because I understood what hiring managers in all industries look for. In 2020, just before COVID hit, I joined Google as an engineer. Too often we're focused on learning "to code" or to do "X". The real skill? Learn to LEARN. Information is not power - skill is. Free information is just data. Insight give you the edge.
