| >she is from MBA(finance) background ? Start here. Find something menial she does but hates, do it in front of her with coding. Show, don't tell. Zed Shaw had a great passage to this point: >People who can code in the world of technology companies are a dime a dozen and get no respect. People who can code in biology, medicine, government, sociology, physics, history, and mathematics are respected and can do amazing things to advance those disciplines. As programmers, we do things to save us time without even thinking about it. Friends coming to pick me up and there's a webpage for a job offering with a disappearing Apply button? Quickly write a script that pulls that page every minute, checks if the button is there, and sends me a notification on my mobile. I didn't even think about it, really. Trivial to do while they're on their way, but science fiction for most people. Writing code so we can be humans and spend time with loved ones as opposed to waste time doing meaningless tasks is what programming gives you. |
