Is coding for everyone?

U.S. president Biden condescendingly suggested coal miners should get into coding. 🥴 Oh, well, not a good political move. Anyhow, though, I don't think coding is for everyone, just like many things aren't for everyone. Of course, that's not saying everyone can't do it. I think people can do whatever they try, but some have to try harder. Nonetheless, some things aren't the most wise use of time, considering life is short.

Nah, it's not for everyone, just as any other hobby isn't necessarily for everyone.

No, I don't think coding is for everyone. It's either a hobby or used to monetize something. It can be a great way to earn extra bucks if you know enough and know where to go to make the money, but it's also a hobby that people commit to because they are into the aspect of programming. Some people were meant to be coders, just like some people were meant to be astronauts and vice-versa.

It isn't for everyone. Anytime I explain my hobby of rom hacking which involves programming to those who aren't familiar with programming, they just give me this blank stare since they don't understand a word I'm saying. xD It's pretty much the same as any skill, not everyone is cut out to be a programmer. Some people are better with hands on jobs, like mechanics. Other people are good when it comes to sewing, etc.

No, it's not for everyone. It does pay well but you need some passion to get pass the initial BS until u start making enough to justify u spending hours reading docs and figuring out why the build system broke 3rd time this month

Coding is definitely not for everyone. Coding is something you need to learn and the only way you are going to want to learn and stick at it is if you enjoy what you are learning and have an interest in it.

Coal miners whilst some may have an interest in coding, not all will and giving the advice that they should all get into coding is very bad advice.
