I’m currently someone who’s learning to program to get out of the trades, I have a good eye for design and I’m decent at technical engineering (I think anyway) and I’m trying to approach it as a designer first who can code second, I figured this out when learning JavaScript/Python that I won’t ever be able to breathe code like some people but then I witness the design these end-game engineers come up with and I’m absolutely floored at how bad it looks.

This really helped me cement my theory and approach in my learning. I’d argue that adding marketing to your toolkit would flesh you out into a pretty decent employee at most companies.
