As the world becomes more technologically advanced, knowing how to read and/or write code will become more important than ever. Even in roles that are non-technical, you could give yourself a competitive advantage by knowing one of the major programming languages. Worst-case scenario is, you will learn skills that can help increase your productivity, improve your creative and logical thinking, automate daily routine tasks or create beautiful web visuals. Not too bad if you ask me !
