Is it true that people from non-tech backgrounds are more creative coders?

At Amquest Education, we watched a student with a psychology background create a journaling app. It kept track of mood and showed simple visual feedback. Her coding skills weren't advanced at first, but the concept and how people would use it were better thought out than most. That's when it hit us: being creative in coding isn't just about writing smart code. It's about fixing problems with people and good design in mind.

People without tech backgrounds aren't taught to think so strictly. This can make their coding logic a bit disorganized at first, but their ideas are often bolder and more focused on the user. They also tend to ask better questions. Instead of just asking How does this work?, they ask questions like Who is this for? or Can this be made easier?.

So, yeah, people who code without a tech background can be super creative, mainly if they combine their other skills with basic coding rules. This combination can lead to unexpected and helpful products.

Don’t you find it funny how mids and seniors applaud no raises for juniors because said juniors are useless and yet refuse to come into the office to train said juniors? Big Law is a total farce. I’ll keep sitting here by myself and maybe one day won’t be so useless, maybe by magic.

My wife often calls me by 5:45/6 to ask where I am if I’m not headed home yet. Sometimes she’s stressed with kids/dogs/dinner and really wants me home. This really throws off my concentration because it makes me feel rushed. Like many practices sometimes I’m out at 5:30, other times it’s much later. Just depends and is unpredictable. Any advice on how to approach this?

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior). He mention that I should read some sales pitch books of some sorts so I can get a process down and not be drain from having genuine conversations with every client. I think it’s a great idea. Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

At what age/ level of experience should one expect to do an mba?

Hello everyone!
I'm happy with the job I do but I expect a better compensation. I'm a B.com graduate, worked in operations for 3.5 years and moved to a technical role within the same company because I have always been passionate about tech. Now I have 1.5 years of experience as a product support engineer and am pursuing MCA in cloud computing. I have a package of 6.3 LPA. I'm expecting around 10 LPA.
Please tell if I'm expecting too much. Also suggest what skills I should acquire to achieve this

Is there a career in IT where less people interaction and more focused work is involved, work is rather meaningful than deadline oriented non creative work.

I got an offer from LTI and Globant with the same package and having approximately 6 years of experience. Where should I join?

I have joined TCS as graduate trainee. I have been trained with Automation anywhere tool.i. am on bench.
I have knowledge of Html ,css, little bit of javascript and Java. What should I do or learn to grow in my tech career.
