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

The Year is 2025, and Everything is a Mess

AI is stealing jobs. The economy is unpredictable. TikTok trends still make no sense.

And somehow, in the middle of all this, people keep saying:
“Work should be about passion.”

I mean, sure. Loving your job sounds great in theory. But what does that actually mean?

  • Does it mean waking up excited every morning?
  • Does it mean never feeling tired?
  • Or does it mean not secretly browsing job listings every lunch break?

Honestly, I don’t have the answer.

Simon Sinek once said:
“Loving your job doesn’t mean you enjoy every second. It means you wouldn’t want to work anywhere else.”

Sounds nice. But in 2025, should we even worry about passion—when robots are literally coming for our jobs?

Well, here’s the thing: AI doesn’t replace people. It replaces people who refuse to adapt.

We’re not here to compete with AI—we’re here to use it, control it, and make it work for us.
Even the most advanced robots still need a human to tell them what to do.

That’s where programming comes in. It’s not just a job, it’s a tool.
A tool that lets you create, automate, and—if nothing else—stay ahead of the machines.

So, do you actually need to love programming to start?

Or do you just need to start, and see where it takes you?

It All Starts With the Letter "M"

No, not Money. Not Motivation.

Memories.

I have a problem with them.

One day, I wake up and can build something cool in a few hours. The next day, I can’t even remember my Facebook password.

That’s part of why I built this blog—to keep track of everything I learn, to make myself accountable, and to not let my ideas get lost in the void.

Because let’s be real—how many times have you thought about learning something, got excited for a day, then forgot about it completely?

That’s the cycle I want to break.

And maybe that’s why you’re here too.

I Built This Blog in 7 Days—And Maybe You Should Start Something Too

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.

Not because I’m some genius, but because I finally stopped overthinking and just started.
I didnt even know what is “elementor” and actually its just drag and drop. Had to Google every little thing.

I wasn’t sure I’d pull it off. But here we are.

And maybe that’s how you feel about programming. Maybe you’re not a CS student. Maybe you’re scrolling through Quora at 2 AM, wondering if you’ll ever actually start.

So let’s make one thing clear—

The difference between people who make it and people who don’t? They start.

The Hard Truth: Most Beginners Overthink Instead of Starting

If your motivation isn’t high enough, do this:

❄️ Go to Reddit or Quora and search “Programming career switch stories.”

You’ll find people who:

  • Started learning at 35 with kids and a full-time job.
  • Switched from completely random degrees like history or psychology.
  • Are self-taught developers making six figures.

The only difference between them and you?
They started. You’re still thinking about it.

So before you scroll away and pretend this article never happened—ask yourself:

Are you gonna keep waiting for the perfect moment? Or are you gonna write your first ‘Hello, World’ and see where it takes you?

1. The Google Dream is Overrated—But Programming Isn’t

Flippa is where digital hustlers flip websites like real estate investors flip houses. Some people sell million-dollar startups, others just offload their failed side projects with a fancy excuse like ‘moving on to new opportunities.

“I don’t understand why people dream about working at Google.”

It’s not that Google is a bad place. It’s just… weird.

People treat getting a job there like it’s the only way to “make it” as a programmer.

But here’s the truth:
✔ You don’t have to work at Google.
✔ You don’t even need a degree.
✔ And you definitely don’t need to be a genius.

There are millions of ways to use programming that don’t involve becoming a corporate drone.

Some people freelance and make $10K/month while working from their couch.
Some people build tiny SaaS projects and sell them for six figures.
Some people just learn coding to automate annoying tasks and never touch it again.

So no, you don’t need to dream about Google. You just need to figure out what kind of freedom you want.

2. Money as a Reward—Not the Goal, But Let’s Be Real

Let’s talk about money.

Not in a “Dude, coding is the fastest way to get rich” way. But in a “you can actually monetize this skill faster than you think” way.

We live in a digital world where you don’t need to master something before making money from it.

  • People sell Notion templates and make thousands.
  • Some guy coded a simple AI bot and flipped it for profit.
  • There’s an entire industry of people selling “automation scripts” to businesses too lazy to do repetitive tasks.

And no, you don’t even need to be good. You just need to be one step ahead of someone who knows nothing.

Example: Some beautiful blue-eyed YouTubers literally record their learning process and monetize it. That’s it. No struggle arc, no sleepless nights—just vibes and a ring light.

You can:
✔ Blog about your coding journey & make ad revenue.
✔ Sell simple templates or snippets for cash.
✔ Create an AI-generated “expert” tutorial and let the algorithm do the rest.

So, even if you don’t want to become a programmer, learning programming is like unlocking a cheat code in life.

Google AdSense: The Silent Puppet Master of the Internet

If money wasn’t enough reason to learn programming, let me introduce you to the real MVP of the internet: Google AdSense.

Think about it—
✔ Half the internet runs on AdSense.
✔ Every blog you’ve ever read? Probably plastered with ads.
✔ Even the guy writing conspiracy theories about Google? Making money FROM Google ads.

And now, here I am—learning to code, building a blog, and probably making pennies from the very thing I’m writing about.

“But Guys, isn’t AdSense dead?”

Not really. It just moved.

  • People now make money from YouTube shorts, AI-generated websites, and even faceless content.
  • Some guy probably makes $50K/month from a blog that’s literally just reposting Amazon product descriptions.
  • And me? I’m just here, trying to make a few bucks while keeping my dignity intact. (Keyword: trying.)

So yeah, you could learn programming for the noble reason of “creating something meaningful.”

Or, you could accept reality and make a website that exists purely to milk AdSense while pretending you’re providing value.

Either way—Google wins.

Meanwhile, some guy is making bank by reuploading slightly modified content while you're here, actually trying to create something original. Life’s fair like that.

3. Programming is Just Another Form of Expression

Some people write songs.
Some people paint.
Some guy made a bot that texts his grandma ‘Good morning, I love you’ every day, so he never forgets.

Programming isn’t just about getting a job—it’s about creating something that matters to you.

  • Someone with anxiety built a mental health chatbot to help others.
  • Someone lazy built a bot that orders their coffee automatically.
  • Even dating apps started as a way to solve a “personal problem.”

The point is—you can code something ridiculous, and it can still change lives.

Yeah, people use ChatGPT to write fanfiction now. Who saw that coming?

It’s supposed to express how tech platforms always end up getting used for unintended purposes.

4. The Process Will Break You Before It Rewards You

Let’s be honest.
Sometimes, we just want to skip to the part where life makes sense.

✔ The part where we can finally tell our parents, “I made it.”
✔ The part where we’re paying all our bills without stress.
✔ The part where we’re dating our crush instead of ghosting people out of anxiety.
✔ The part where we’re donating to charity like a tech billionaire.

But you don’t get to skip the process.

And the process?
It sucks. It will break you first before it rewards you.

🔥 You will get stuck.
🔥 You will doubt yourself.
🔥 You will think, “maybe this isn’t for me.”

But that’s the test.
And most people quit before they get good. So you have less competitor now?

Final Words: Just 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.

You don’t need to be sure.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need to start.
