Then it's not for you. No shame in that. I don't understand the notion that everyone is supposed to be a coder now.
If anything, the low-level coding part is something AI models may well make obsolete relatively soon. Unlike any craftsmanship - why not learn masonry or carpentry instead?
I'm not giving up a 20+ year career in IT just because I haven't yet found a way to learn how to code.
There's more than one way to teach a subject and it would be nice to have even a basic understanding of the mess I am supposed to be supporting,
Why do you want to learn how to code?
Is it purely to get a better understanding of how salesforce works "under the hood"?
(I'm looking for context because I don't know anything about salesforce but I do know how to code)
Oh god no, not Salesforce. No no no.
All of our other products.
Gotcha, maybe you don't necessarily have to be a coder to understand those products better.
Simply being curious and having conversations with devs will probably get you far.
