A few years ago, David Heinemeier Hansson (Ruby on Rails creator) made a confession on Twitter: "I look up code on the internet all the time." David's confession went viral. Within a few hours, dozens of developers began to make similar confessions — all challenging the conventional idea of what most people think it means to be a "real developer." What the trend "Developer Confessions" has taught us is that developers don't know EVERYTHING. (Phew, what a relief!) In this latest episode of the Learn to Code Podcast I break down the 6 Reasons Why You'll Never Learn to Code, and make my own developer confession. (Geez, I have so so so many developer confessions — hope you're ready). 6 Reasons Why You'll Never Learn to Code (article w/ links and examples) https://learn.onemonth.com/6-reasons-why-youll-never-learn-to-code/ Developer Confessions: https://twitter.com/i/events/835969005668220930?lang=en Learn to Code with One Month ►https://www.onemonth.com/ STAY TUNED: One Month ► https://www.onemonth.com/ YouTube ► https://youtube.com/c/onemonth Facebook ►https://www.facebook.com/OneMonthEdu/ Podcast ►https://learn.onemonth.com/learn-to-code-podcast/
