While things like PowerShell have become more ubiquitous in most Microsoft shops in regard to how dependent the current OS and applications are, For a lot of people on the sysadmin side of IT, there is a reluctance to learn or better understand code. In my earlier years even I (like many other sysadmins) would often use the phrase “I can read it, but couldn’t build it”, but I wanted to push past this limitation.
I must preface that my goal isn’t necessarily to become a developer, but to learn how to think and solve problems like one.
When I say “Code is Everything” I refer to everything used in the 21st century in terms of technology and things we take for granted. It’s not as simple as it being something on a computer (or what we familiarize as a computer), but literally everything: Lights, televisions, phones, appliances, cars etc. Take away the software and your phone becomes a paperweight, your car doesn’t start, and your TV becomes a dust collector so I think you get my drift.
