 What do you think about coding/programming as a career choice? 

Is it still a good choice or oversaturated? 
 It won't be oversaturated, there is always more code needed than there are people to write it. AI helps with that. 
 High quality experienced coders are still in desperately short supply. However people fresh out of a boot camp with little practical experience are in oversupply. There’s some nuance here 
 I’m wanting to learn a new skill and I’ve got a few months to learn it. I can easily put in like 5 hours+/day. Even if that just gets me an internship would be fine. 

I was just sick of my old job/field and wanted to build things. 
 Taking Huang's opinion on that is like getting political advice from an actor.
