5 unexpected ways coding upgrades your life — beyond making money

I could code for many hours straight but I usually couldn’t say the same about writing!

And I always wondered why.

But I knew it was because of certain underlying emotions and values I felt when coding but didn’t quite feel for writing.

Eventually, I discovered at least 5 things about coding that make it so enjoyable and meaningful.

Things that can make any activity more pleasurable and fulfilling.

Coding gives us purpose, growth, and 3 other precious values.

1. Purpose

There’s a deep sense of purpose in coding that gives us constant drive & passion.

A reason to wake up in the morning.

Every massive coding project is a brand new mission in itself with lots of exciting goals & milestones.

It’s an endless adventure.

Imagine creating an endless runner game like Subway Surfers from scratch:

New HTML <dialog> tag: An absolute game changer

HTML will never be the same with the new <dialog> tag.

❌Before:

See how much work it would have taken me to create a dialog 👇

Almost 20 lines of CSS alone:

And that’s just CSS for the dialog functionality — it will still look very basic:

But how about with the new <dialog> tag!

✅ Now:

<button id="open">Open</button>
<dialog id="dialog">
  ⚡Lighting strikes the earth 44 times every second!
</dialog>

const dialog = document.getElementById('dialog');
const open = document.getElementById('open');
open.addEventListener('click', () => {
  dialog.showModal();
});

We can even use the show() method to show a non-modal dialog — less intrusive with no backdrop:

How to write “natural” code everybody will love to read

The biggest reason we use languages like JavaScript and Python instead of Assembly is how much closer to natural language they are.

Or how much they CAN be.

Because sometimes we write code just for it to work without any care about demonstrating what we're doing to other humans.

And then this backfires painfully down the line. Especially when one of those humans is your future self.

Parts of speech: back to basics

You know your code is natural when it resembles English as much as possible. Like an interesting, descriptive story.

It means you've intelligently made the entities and actions in the story powerfully express the code flow from start to completion.

What entities are we talking about?
