I have an econs background too. I learned to code in my final year of uni and now do some freelancing. You are right that knowing how to program will give you special powers!

bobbyongce | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: I am 35 years old with no degree – can I still program?
you can absolutely pick up programming on ur free time. many of the best programmers are self-taught. i recommend completing udacity cs101 and the udacity cs253 to have a strong foundation in programming and web app development. after you complete these courses i'm sure you will be confident enough to pick up a web framework tutorial like django or ruby on rails and continue from there.
consistent learning every few days for a few months will set you to mastery in a year or so. good luck with learning!

totally agree with this. learning how to market is underrated big time. i'm taking this route now by writing first, building an audience and then see how i can launch things later on
bobbyongce | 13 years ago | on: Want to Learn to Code? Start Small and Have Fun
Totally agree with your point. I tell almost everyone trying to learn programming to start off with Udacity CS101 with Python. I myself started with HTML/CSS a long time ago. It is not programming per say but the satisfaction of having created a simple web page is satisfying. Learning Ruby on Rails from the beginning will be too much to handle at one go without even knowing the basics of HTML/CSS/JS and not even to mention the basics of database design. It will take a long time, but it will be worth it as knowledge and experience is accumulated. Start Small, Have Fun - good advice.

A great article. I think the EU made a big mess up by even considering not honouring the deposit insurance scheme. Now everyone knows that the insurance is not really an insurance and the government can grab it anytime a crisis happens. All the trust built up over the years is gone with just one action.
Also all the big accounts with a large haircut will now cause almost all businesses to be affected. It will be very hard to see any business surviving this cashflow crunch in Cyprus.
