Why you should Code

If this would be my first post then it is worth it for anyone who is giving up learning to code (especially to my friend Timi from his word "why should I code")

Well, you should code based on the fact that...

“Everybody in this country should learn to program a computer because it teaches you how to think.” From Steve Jobs

You should code because...

“All of my friends who have younger siblings who are going to college or high school - my number one piece of advice is: You should learn how to program.” From Mark Zuckerberg

You should code because...

"Coding is fun to solve puzzles, and sometimes it creates an opportunity for you and your generation from what you've created. That's the sense of purpose." From Fred Brooks

You should code because...

"The process of coding programs for a digital computer is especially attractive, not only because it can be economically and scientifically rewarding, but also because it can be an aesthetic experience much like composing poetry or music." From Donald Knuth

You should code because...

“Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, writing code is an essential skill to learn.” From Stephen Hawking

You should code for you...

“To be prepared for the demands of the 21st century—and to take advantage of its opportunities—it is essential that more of our students today learn basic coding skills, no matter what field of work they want to pursue." From Todd Park

You should code for...

"Learning to code is something Africa youths need to dive into. It will help tackle unemployment and the digital skill gap. The new age of software is transforming society, writing codes no longer need a PhD and this is a high paying skill" From Strive Masiyiwa

You should code because

"Coding is the language of the future, learn it. Coding is fun, collaborative, and creative" From Reshma Saujani

Note this: You should code because...

"Coding is like art combined together to make a beautiful stuff that could be of value" From me too you

What more reasons can you give to help him continue writing codes. This could help someone planning to give up ever writing codes.
