Market changes in Nepal: According to data published on 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports employment of developer-related jobs is expected to grow by 25% from 2021 to 2031 — in their words, “much faster than average.” The high demand for programmers and developers is driven by the increasing importance of technology in our lives and a skills gap in the job market.

Python variable

Variable is process to making a value of any word. For eg- r = d

       Print("r")

So when we run our code result is d because r value is d Thanks for watching

Hello, this is a talk page about the Wikipedia article, not a general forum for questions about programming. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 11:44, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lede needs work

If a programmer is "person who creates computer programs" then Ada Lovelace was not one as she only wrote part of a program. Suggest: A programmer is one who authors code.

Second paragraph was added but not integrated with the first. Duplication.

Third paragraph opens a floodgate of which languages to include ... people has adding more over time. Just link to computer language.

Programming is a skill. Software developer and software engineer are titles ... or roles or something ... not really skills. I guess programmer could be a title too, but generally not. Consider the CEO saying: we need to hire a lawyer. The person hired would be a lawyer, but their title would not be "lawyer".

In summary, the lede needs a re-write. Stevebroshar (talk) 15:38, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FYI I re-wrote it a while ago. Stevebroshar (talk) 18:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
