This is almost offensively linkbait-y. In the "most popular posts" sidebar you have "Everyone at Yipit is Now Learning to Code". Why will I never learn to code? You never get to that part.

By the way, I decided to "learn to code" at age 30, and I find it interesting. Then again, I was also full of platitudes when I was in my 20s.

edit: the submission was retitled to something actually pertinent to the article's content, rather than the title of the article "Why You Will Never Learn to Code", which is shit IMO.

Exactly. I share a very very similar story with the author, execpt that I am not successfull yet. His story had everything to inspire me, someone who followed my exactly same path and made it.

Then, after reading it, I feel that he is more interested in creating a brand, building an audience, than sharing his story and inspiring people. I think I will have to find out some other "learned to code and created a company" role model.
