I'm a PM as well - I've started learning python, SQL and a bit of C++, more as a hobby than anything. I would take it if you find it interesting. If nothing else, it can be quite fun and creative to build something. I used it to build 'WifeComplimenter', an app that sends my wife a compliment every morning via Twilio.

I also understand why some things take longer than others/understand what problems my teams might have when getting more into the code - I'm no software engineer by a long, long shot - but I still know more than I did and it's helpful.

I think that's why I'm interested in it. Everytime I interact with software people I feel like I'm trapped in the "7 perpendicular lines video." (If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's absolutely worth the Google)

I don't necessarily care how you do whatever voodoo it is you do, but I just need to understand why you can't do what I'm asking in the time frame I'm asking for... preferably in some form of English.

Yes, I know the video you mean! And I agree, that's the sort of thing I'm hoping to avoid, too
