    Additionally, just “knowing how to code” has never been an actual ticket to success.

    Software engineers are hired to solve problems, not write code. If you can write code but can’t solve problems and create innovative solutions you’re no better than a monkey.

      Yeah there’s a lot of people that “learned to code” that never got anything out of it.
