Why do I learn coding?

I had the opportunity to get my hands on computers when I was very little kid, but I went a completely different path compare to all the IT entrepreneurs that I admire so much today have gone through: instead of exploring the practically unlimited possibilities in computer programming I spent hours and hours in gaming even before my tongue was fully ready to speak Chinese. 

I spent a lot of time playing games on consoles with my uncle, but someday he suddenly dropped the game and started typing on the keyboard, for an entire day, he was just typing on the keyboard, that annoyed me because I didn't understand what he was doing, also because I couldn't play while he's doing his stuff. After a whole day, finally he called me over in front of the screen, there's a little figure on the screen, he handed me the controller told me to try it out, surprisingly I could control the little figure with the controller, it wasn't from any game, it was just plain black background with a little figure, but it was coded by my uncle, how did he do it? 

I wasn't very impressed although, and my uncle never went down that road to study more about coding, soon we just came back to fight shoulder to shoulder in virtual battle field.

When I got a littler older, I was very into computer magazines, but I was only interested in the gaming section, I read all the articles about games over and over, remember once there was a long article teaching people how to code a simple shooting game(that you can't even move, just shoot the approaching enemies), it was like 3 or 4 pages, it was like "dang it, this month's magazine's ruined, I was expecting some gaming content, now it's just boring code crawling on pages".

So despite my early familiarity with computers it never came to my mind to learn to code. 

Until last year I worked at a hotel and for some reason I built a website for the company with an online website building platform, it was easy and intuitive, anybody can build a good looking website within a few minutes, but this time it got me, I figured, if I could code I could make a lot of adjustments that the platform won't allow me to. When you are choosing template it's frustrating that you can never find just exactly what you want, and even if you find one, there are just so many details you want to work on but the template won't allow you. So finally, after 20 years I wanted to learn coding. 

Coding will open a whole new world for anyone wants to create new things, websites, programs, apps anything. I believe coding studying will become as significant as a foreign language learning across the globe.
