Is it a waste of time to learn code if I don't know EXACTLY what I want to do with it?

[liam_hughes_85]

I'm still kind of in the idea phase, still developing a better mindset with seeing opportunities to create value and solve problems and stuff. Spend a lot of time exercising that 'muscle'.

I've learned a bit of React JS and now Python in the meantime, and have a handful of ideas I have 'bookmarked' until I get to that skill level, but it's not a direct pathway to a specific idea. My justification is that no matter what I end up pursuing, having some coding know-how will be useful.

I feel like it's made me a better critical thinker and put me closer to understanding the tech start up/SAAS scene, thinking in terms of what tropes to avoid that everyone is doing. Kinda started doing it because I needed to do something while I acclimate myself and get better at finding ideas/problems (I've read a lot about mindset and marketing/strategy as well).

Just curious what people think; is it a waste of time to learn code if it's not directly for a specific project?

Happy Wednesday and hope your businesses/projects/day are going well.
