Everything Has Changed! Are You Still Writing Code in 2026?

If not writing code, we are just observing. That’s not a great idea to learn and thrive

I write code myself. This feeling of control over my project when I type something assures me I do it right way.

Dave Gray you are one of the few YouTubers I looked up to when I was starting out.
I remember writing code about The Little Taco Shop many months ago and doubting myself if I could finish it. Now, I’m grateful to my older self for not giving up and I’m proud to how far I’ve come.
I just want to say thank you and keep doing what you are doing! You are gem for us self-taught developers.

Just as we’ve seen in the last month from some tech tutorial channels on YouTube, we’re not sure what to expecting in the coming days but nonetheless, I’m glad Dave is back.
