We need to put this on a poster and share it with all design bootcamps.
UX fact number two: designers should never learn to code. Code is like a gun - you start to think that because it is so powerful, it can be the solution to all your problems. In reality your problems are sociopolitical. Coding will not make you better at meetings.
