HT Codeathon: 10 reasons you should know how to code

Not knowing how to code today is like living in another country (without Google Translate) and knowing not a word of the language. We learn a smattering of French before we head to Paris; we give German a shot before going to Berlin. How can you work with a machine all day and not speak its simple lingo? The earlier you start, the better; but it is also never too late — as anyone who has placed an order in a Paris café will attest to. As with any new skill, even a little knowhow means you can proceed with confidence, identify your focus or interest areas, and finally be able to see behind the screen.
