DAE have a local spot where people learn to code together?
I was at the park near my apartment yesterday, and there was a small crowd with laptops under the big oak tree. At first I thought it was a picnic, but then I heard someone explaining how to write a function in JavaScript. They have this informal club every Saturday for absolute beginners, no experience needed. One woman told me she joined to make a website for her dog walking service, and now she can fix basic issues herself. It's funny because I remember when coding seemed like something only tech people did in offices. Having it happen right here in the community makes it feel less scary to start. I might even drop by next week, though my own computer skills are pretty much just for scheduling cleanings.

After @andrewwilliams posted about his neighbor, my friend tried learning HTML.

Our library ran a free Python group last year, and my neighbor went from zero to building a simple order tracker for his side hustle. Seeing people learn together really takes the mystery out of it.
