I think coding is important too. I think your advice is good but maybe doesn't translate as well to my field as we need other technical ..

Skills just as much. So e.g. Knowing sleep physiology is more important for me than coding, code is "just a tool". I want to know more

And I'd like to know C++ and python but I feel like I'm repeating myself when I say this but there are more important skills for me to learn

I respect that, but it's a little undermining of my area to say all we do = code w/out any theoretical or empirical knowledge or grounding.

I mean a much bigger part of what I do is collecting data than working on analyses - that's actually a fairly small part, this doesn't fit

Into 140 chars but I feel computational skills are more central to what you do, where as for me data acquisition is technically often

More challenging. So being good at that and interpreting that data is at least as important as code, and takes much longer to learn

I did do a three year BSc course in CompSci and spent many many hours coding afterwards to get to where my skillset is... and still it's not

my only skill. Just knowing how to code is not enough to do good research.
