Codecademy
It's Thanksgiving week here in the US, but gratitude is universal. As 2021 draws to a close, let's reflect on all the things we have to be grateful for.
Programming languages have come a long way from their humble Short Code beginnings, becoming less clunky, more efficient, and creating an entire industry bursting with career opportunities. Now, learners all over the world benefit from the advances of programmers past and, in turn, innovate to pave an easier path for future programmers.
Whether it's the increasing availability of programming education or new, low-code alternatives to previously complex systems, developers today have a lot to be thankful for. Which brings me to the Question of the Week: What are you grateful for — both coding and non-coding related?
