Anyone can make code work.
That’s not the hard part.
The hard part is knowing why it works — and why it might break later.
Most bugs don’t come from syntax errors.
They come from misunderstanding:
how data flows
how state changes
how code executes over time
Frameworks won’t save you from that.
New languages won’t either.
Strong developers focus on fundamentals:
data structures
control flow
abstraction
trade-offs
Once you understand those, tools become interchangeable.
Code is temporary. Understanding compounds.
