How I would learn to code (If I had to start over)

In this video, I share my 8 step approach of learning to code if I were to start over again given that sitations had changed significantly from the time when I learned to code.

A brief intro about me: I'm currently working in tech as a Senior Developer Advocate of an open source library. Prior to this, I made the transition from academia where I was an ex-Professor of Bioinformatics teaching and doing research for 15 years on computational drug discovery.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Thank you!! I've loved all the points, and I will document my journey more (learning in public). And about helping others, hopeful as I get to understand the concepts some more.

I am still loyal to Python bcs Python can do Javascript role, games, GUI and many more and the most interesting parts are they are good to learn Data Science, AI and any kind of automation

I was waiting for this clickbait video from you. Too many coding youtubers posting them.

Edit: please note this was not a criticism or a dig. I would much rather hear from a prof than some coding dude bro any day.
