Why Learning To Code Won't Save Your Job

At least, that's what we've been telling young professionals and mid-career workers alike who want to hack it in the modern workforce--in fact, it's advice I've given myself. And judging by the proliferation of coding schools and bootcamps we've seen over the past few years, not a few have eagerly heeded that instruction, thinking they're shoring up their livelihoods in the process. Unfortunately, many have already learned the hard way that even the best coding chops have their limits. More and more, "learn to code" is looking like bad advice. Anyone competent in languages such as Python, Java, or even web coding like HTML and CSS, is currently in high demand by businesses that are still just gearing up for the digital marketplace.
