Send us a textToday we're talking about the most valuable thing that learning to code has given me. It isn't a career, a well-paid job, or really anything tangible. It's a mindset. Learning to code gives you the mindset of figuring things out and solving your own problems. In this episode, we talk about why coding gives this mindset, the qualities of the mindset, and how to develop this mindset in yourself. LinksHow a Car Engine WorksShameless PlugsJunior to SeniorParsitydev30.xyzPeter's YouTube channelShameless Plugs(NEW) The Inner Circle - a highly customized program to take you from 0 to hired 🧠 ​Parsity​ - a coding program for career changers (limited to 15 people per quarter) ​🚀 dev30​ - learn JS in 2025 and get a massive discount to Parsity Already a developer?
