Why You Should Learn Programming in 2025 (Even If You Have No Clue Where to Start)

The year is 2025. AI is stealing jobs, the economy is unpredictable, and TikTok trends still make no sense. You’re sitting there wondering: should I learn programming? I made this blog in 7 days. Learning Elementor, messing with hosting, doubting myself every step of the way. I wasn’t sure I’d make it.And maybe you feel the same about programming. Maybe you’re not in a CS school. Maybe you’re scrolling Reddit while wondering if you’ll ever get good at this. If that’s you, good. Because that was me too. And trust me, it’s not as impossible as you think.

1. The Hard Truth: Most Beginners Overthink Instead of Starting

If your motivation isn’t high enough, here’s a challenge: Go to Reddit or Quora and search “Programming career switch stories.”
You’ll find people who started at 35 with kids, people who switched from random degrees, and even self-taught developers making six figures.
The difference between them and you? They started

2. Long-Term Goals: What Can You Do With Programming?

People always talk about “working at Google” as if that’s the only dream. But that’s Weird—there are MILLIONS of ways to use coding.
Here’s what you could become:
✅ A freelance developer (Upwork, Fiverr—people sell coding gigs for $$$).
✅ An indie hacker (Build a side project & sell it, check Indie Hackers).
✅ A tech writer (Like what I’m doing—writing about tech & getting paid).
✅ A white-hat hacker (Yes, ethical hacking is an actual job).
✅ Or just a guy who uses coding as a tool to build cool stuff.
Proof? People sell simple Python scripts on Flippa for thousands. Check it yourself.

3. Money as a Reward (Not the Main Goal, But Let’s Be Real)

We’re in a digital era. You don’t need to “master” coding before you start making money. {Of course you have content for day in my life}
Some people sell Notion templates and make thousands. Some make simple automation scripts and sell them on Gumroad. Some don’t even code but sell AI-generated projects.
Bottom line? You can monetize your skills before you’re “ready.”

4. Express Yourself

Coding Isn’t Just for “Serious” People
Not everyone codes to build the next Facebook. Some people use programming as art.
Ever heard of people turning their personal struggles into coding projects?
✅ Someone built a mental health AI chatbot to help with anxiety.
✅ Someone built a journaling app because they couldn’t find the right one.
✅ Even dating apps started as a way to solve a personal problem.

5. The Harsh Reality: The Process Sucks, But It’s Worth It

Let’s be honest. Sometimes we just wanna skip to the part where we say, “I made it.”
• The part where we tell our parents we’re successful.
• The part where we pay our own bills.
• The part where we date our crush without worrying about money.
• The part where we donate to charity like a boss.
But the process? The process will break you first before it rewards you.
You can either fight through it, or keep making excuses.

🚀 Final Words: Just Write ‘Hello, World’ and Start

I don’t have all the answers. I’m not a tech guru.
I’m just a guy learning, failing, and figuring it out—just like you.
But if you’ve read this far, you’re already doing more than most people. So here’s my advice:
📌 Write your first ‘Hello, World’ today.
📌 Pick one thing to learn.
📌 Just start.
The process isn’t perfect. But it’s better than being stuck.
