I never have been a coder, outside of when I was twelve or something, like on the Atari 1200 XP or whatever I had.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A great coder can easily be 50 times more productive than a mediocre one, while bad ones ultimately have negative productivity.
I have been playing video games since the Atari 2600 days.
When I was little, we used to have Atari.
While my friends were busy listening to the Talking Heads, Police, and B-52s, I was busy teaching myself to program on the Atari.
I didn't set out to be at the top of technology companies. I'm just geeky and shy, and I like to code.
I think a lot of people learn to code messing around with things while in secondary school. And for me, it started up as a hobby and a plaything, and I just became more curious over time.
I could program the VCR when I was really young.
Code is just a list of instructions. There are countries that are teaching it as part of the core curriculum. Having some experience in those early years is very important.
But for me, it was a code I myself had invented! Yet I could not read it.
I'm a great coder. But I am not pushing that so much anymore because there are thousands of great coders.
