HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, React, Java, C#, Swift, SwiftUI, PHP, C/C++, Ruby, GO. The list is endless. It’s no wonder learning programming is daunting for so many folks! The sea of options feels like less like a sea and more like Miller’s Planet: just an entire world of water ready to drown you with her 4,000 foot waves. But here the waves aren’t water. They’re information.
Troy, I just started watching the CS50 course, too! In my quest to transition from Design to PM. What I've discovered so far is that I've been exposed to most of these concepts already throughout the course of my career (and cooking: algorithms = recipes!). But I'm still going to try to go through the whole course. Just for the additional brain stimulation that comes from seeing things through a new lens.
Ha, that's awesome that we arrived there independently at the same time! Agree that seeing things through a new lens is quite enlightening. I live for those moments where things click.
Are you thinking that this will be helpful for you as a PM because you'll have more of an overarching view of each discipline you're working with?
