In fact being able to code is what saved my life (100% literally) at least twice. It's why I still have a job in science, it's also how a landed a PhD place.

So yeah, just do it. Even if you get stuck on what a for loop is or have trouble understanding logic tables or object orientation. It is worth it. Learn how to code.

Sorry to all those who have missed out on careers because your undergraduate courses didn't bother to stress coding.
I am trying to change this for the next generations, and you can fix this for yourself too. It's never too late.

I'm sorry to hear that. My MSc and my undergrads as well a visiting high school student loved it. So you think it's because you're already doing a PhD that you essentially don't have the time?

I can second that opinion. Coming back to coding after a loooong brake I found codeacademy helpful only in being an easy entry point which helped me overcome my initial fear of 'omg I barely remember anything'.
