Developers, Why Coding? 🤔

Arjun Vijay Prakash - Feb 24 - - Dev Community

Why are you doing this?

Is it for money?

Is it for respect?

The fun of solving problems?

Whatever it is, I don’t judge.

Every reason is okay.

But what I want to say is, please think carefully about why you're doing this.


Because...

I think not doing that is the main reason why people fail in their coding attempts.

I learned this from a book called "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek and some videos from YouTube(of course).


It talks about why some people and companies are more creative, and influential, and make more money than others.

Sinek talks about the Golden Circle, which is three circles saying "Why," "How," and "What."

Title Description
Why This is why the business exists.
How This is what they do to make the "Why" happen.
What This is the result of the "Why" and "How" — what they sell or offer.

Sinek says most companies focus on "What" they do and "How" they do it, but not "Why" they do it.


But the most successful organizations start with "Why."

They inspire their employees and connect with their customers by saying their purpose first.

I agree with this.


And we can use this for learning to code:

Title Description
Why This is why you want to learn to code.
How This is how you learn to code.
What This is what you learn from coding.

Most of us focus on "how" and "what" but forget that the foundation of both is the "why".

The core of everything has to be a why.


We have lots of things to do but not enough time and energy to do them all, so we choose things with a strong purpose.

So if you want to spend your time and energy coding instead of doing something easier, like watching videos, you need a strong why.


Indeed, I understand that there is always a reason behind our actions.

We're not only following the crowd; rather, it's about whether that reason brings fulfilment and leaves you feeling content and satisfied and of course of a strong why.


So ask yourself:

Why am I learning to code?

And then decide if you want to continue.

Maybe you'll find there's no strong reason…

That's okay too.
