Coding is okay. I guess labcoat explained pretty well why it can be enjoyable. I've never coded "professionally" though. I've started toying with MS-DOS since I was a small kid (6-7 yo) and at the time even interacting with a computer required you to do something similar to "coding" so idk, I don't see it as something "special".
By the way, the article does not really explain why everyone should learn how to code "a bit"? To use AutoCAD? To play with gadgets? I believe the main motivation would be "to solve a real-life problem with a computer"?
