Has anyone here taught themselves coding for the sake of making cool side projects? Digital gags and one-off websites and stuff like that.

Any recommendations for what languages to learn and tools to teach yourself to code as a creative?

(Or alternatively if you’re a creative technologist who wants to partner up to work on cool digital side projects, DM me!)

Yes. But. Now ChatGPT can write a bulk of the code for you. But you still need a basic working knowledge to debug. Look up YouTube videos on Cursor.

HTML, CSS, and Javascript should work for a start if your project is to be on the web, you could need a specific framework too based on what you want to achieve. Feel free to ask more questions.

Yes. Specifically code for video games. Currently making a game about advertising.

Depends on what you want to do with the code, really. Python is maybe the most digestible if you have zero experience? But there are a million options.

Dm me if you want to chat.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting.

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
