Learning how to play around with code is the real way to learn about programming, moreso than doing coursework would.
It seems a lot of self-made people in the business world (specifically in the tech industry) learned to code as a teenager or with their own experimentation rather than actually formally learning programming through school. Certain professions work out like that I guess.
I would like to learn, but I'm too lazy lol. And I'm not really a sciency math dude either.
