    How Tech is Built: The Basics of Coding

    Send us a text Ever wondered what coding actually is but felt too intimidated to ask? You're not alone. In this beginner-friendly exploration of programming basics, we break down complex technical concepts into digestible, relatable pieces. Our Episode 1 pilot explores the world of coding fundamentals through a  metaphor: baking a cake. Just as bakers follow recipes with specific steps, measurements, and repeated actions, programmers create instructions for computers to follow. We also dive into the world of programming languages, explaining why Python is perfect for beginners while still powering advanced AI applications, how JavaScript brings websites to life, and why knowing "ancient" languages like COBOL can surprisingly lead to lucrative career opportunities today.  We also unpack the differences between coding, programming, and software engineering while addressing the burning question: will AI replace human programmers? (Spoiler: it's more like power tools for carpenters than a replacement for human creativity and problem-solving.) Whether you're tech-curious, contemplating a career change, or simply want to understand what your software engineer friends are talking about, this episode provides a foundation for understanding the digital world around us. If you'd like to explore a couple of links, we recommend checking out: Programming for Everybody (Getting Started with Python) on Coursera.
