Coding is more about communicating than computing.

New data: the best predictor of how quickly people learned to code wasn't math or cognitive ability, but language aptitude.

Math skill was almost irrelevant. Coding is mastering a language, not numbers.

@EmmaBostian Good point. I found it a little overwhelming when I first started learning and tried jumping right in, then I went back to school to earn a cert in software dev & realized that I'm one of those who really needed the foundations first.

@WomenWhoCode It needs parentheses around 8 + 4 because it follows PEMDAS and performs multiplication before addition. It should read print('Result: ', num * (8 + 4))

The U.S. military is tracking millions using data from Muslim prayer, Quran, and dating apps. This is especially outrageous considering our government’s history of surveilling Muslims.

@CodeNewbies I'm working through the 30 days of JS by Wes Bos

[Sherouk Omara @sheroukomara]

Alrighty, I'm officially starting #100DaysOfCode and wishing I'd declared it like a week ago so I could've counted those days too. 😅 Worked on two projects from @wesbos's 30 Day JS Challenge

@benawad @ProductHunt I've been looking for something like this! Currently, I write down all my recipes in a little notebook, but it's time to start transferring them.
