I love this comment. Totally agree. Some people may view learning to code as a chore and a do it once and check it off sort of thing. It's such a misconception. Just like being a good financial analyst (disclosure: I was one) where you need to read the Economist, NYTimes, WSJ, listen to NPR, play with Bloomberg, etc.. If you truly want to be up to date on coding, you need to get super involved in learning about emerging technologies and be able to think quickly asn ask yourself... is this worth learning and implementing? Learning to code is just a step in this journey...
