Experts predict that the number of developers will grow to 45 million by 2030 😱. So it shows us the IT field is growing fast. So yes, you have to learn to program.

Back in the day, programming resources were challenging to find. Because there were very few resources and people available to teach it, but after rising up the Internet nowadays, it's so much easier for anyone can find anything in just a second.
