Anyway, trials and tribulations and fighting things like being asked to cross-train on wimmen-jobs like secretary and tape librarian (I refused until one of the guys did it) aside, coding has taken me to four other countries, and a few other states.
I highly recommend learning to code - it instills both logic and the sense of variables - what could possible go wrong, what could change, and how to deal with that in advance, if possible. Great idea!
