@mattmarkus4868 you clearly missed the point of this comment. Anyone who wants to do programming just for the money or other extrinsic motivations is not going to make it as a programmer. The best programmers sincerely wants to learn and understand the tech, and if you dont have this mentality. It will be very hard for you. So, thinking you are getting paid to learn is exactly the correct mindset and the only way you will survive in the tech industry. This is not the same as saying, learn anything you want. Dont confuse that.

@mattmarkus4868 yes, that quote could get taken the wrong way. Which is exactly what you did. It was clearly not what it meant in this context, and youre still defending a useless point. The actual point is of the guy in the video and the op is: assuming the premise that youre a programmer, chances are you enjoy programming, amd if you enjoy it, you must like learning more about it. Therefore, you are actually getting paid to learn more. He didnt say you get paid to get 'taught', he said you get paid to learn. Its a very simple concept. I guess most jobs youll need to learn new things, but it holds more true in the tech industry.

Your knowledge of human potential is about 50 years behind my friend. We already know so much about brain plasticity and a growth mindset on how people learn and accomplish amazing things. People who usually think they are born with something (fixed mindset) are never really become the best in their field, because there will always someone better than them and they just accept that. If you have talked to really succesful people they will never tell you talent is what got them there. Kings arent born, they are made. Also the Math part. I know so many programmers and even people who teach programming that doesnt apply math in programming. All you need is basic arithmetic and understand percentages, other than that its all about logic.

@mattmarkus4868 you missed the point. Tech companies want you to work off the clock so they give you enough reasons to stay in the building as long as possible.
