It's just like learning a new language, are you going to speak Mandarin throughout your life - for social or business purposes? Who knows, it may come in handy.

Just like programming languages, most people who decided to learn to code, wanted to solve life's challenges, such as - expanding their career options (starting a new business or saying no to more Excel spreadsheets), to shorten time on filing their tax returns (improve personal accounting time taken), automated reminder system to feed their cat (if number of meows' no longer a reliable cat hunger meter), to allow customers to get in touch with professional chefs to learn more about cooking lessons.

In a more connected world, it's worth learning to code - like tasting food, you'll never know until you've tried.
