Coding can be spiritual
Because it changes the way human beings think and live !
There was never such a time since the beginning of human race, where our ideas could so easily be transformed into a REVOLUTION with just 2-3 months of crazy focus and some lines of code.
English, Hindi, Marathi, French, German and all other languages are compulsory in school depending upon the country you live in. But I believe, in 2013, programming language should be the most taught one, in every educational institution on the planet. If you don’t know how to code in 2013, you’re fucking yourself (Seriously. That’s on your face.)
Even I didn't knew it’s insane amount of use, until i got mY hands dirty on it. And I’m not here to promote CODING or so. Trust me I’m not. I mYself hated it big time in college. I hated (still do sometimes today) those command lines, shells, html tags etc, until i realized it wasn't about those lines of code, but about what gets created out of it that can seriously impact millions (or at least thousands) of people around the world.
And now as I’ve learnt it and creating mYwindow with amazing bunch of people, and after watching so many amazing guys with some awesome programming skills and insane execution, I’ve realized that programming is the most easiest (it definitely is) and best way to create groundbreaking results for millions of people around the world.
Just think about what products like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Calm, Dropbox, Pinterest did.
These were not that difficult to create in terms of coding them. Trust me, making first version of such products is not that difficult, if you know how to hustle and code. Once people start loving it, it automatically grows and you start attracting best people to take it to the next level !!
If you don’t even pay attention in college or even drop out, it’s absolutely fine. In 2013, it’s not that flashy if you dropped out. It never was, in fact. We’re just enthralled with getting graduated !!
All you need to do is just LEARN TO CODE.
We’re no longer slaves. No one’s controlling anything.
Imagine, 5 years back, traditional media like TV ads, TV news, newspapers, magazines controlled the information and medium, and hence they were kings.
This is where the money was flowing and millions of dollars were invested to get right info in front of people.
But now, 3 guys created TWITTER and it has completely revolutionized the way we consume information.
We get to know about any news on twitter the moment it has happened because the people in that situation will tweet it and thousands of people will know it.
This is CRAZY !!
Human beings now have power to change the way we live, and that’s what twitter and other platforms did.
You have to start NOW. Just start.
“The power to create is in YOUR hands. So use your hands to CODE.”
Programming is a new way to spirituality where you sit, write some lines of code, something is created out it, and thousands of people love it.
You can Inspire.
You can Help.
You can create an Impact, or
You could just Learn.
Do you know a more crazy statistic ?
Eric Schmidt, Chairman of Google, said,
“More content is produced today in 48 hours, than it was produced since the beginning of time, till 2003."
Just try to seriously grasp what that sentence means.
And that’s all because of such awesome guys who knew how to program and created Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc.
There are loads of amazing platforms where learning to code, building your app or website, and launching it, is really easy.
Platforms like Code academy, Wordpress, Lynda, AWS, have made it so easy and cheap for people to launch their dream ideas and create an impact.
Just hustle and keep coding !!
