If you're still in school, how do your friends react when you tell them that you code???

When my friends ask what my hobbys are, I tell them that I learn to code at the moment. And then they look at me with a strange face and laugh. I think coding is something you have to be interested in, or you will lose quickly your focus on understanding it. What is your opninion or the reactions of your friends???

Well when I tell my friends I code they don't even react at all since most of them hardly know what coding is

My friends don't know how difficult and time-consuming it is to code. They think that a fully-functional, UI Design friendly website can be done OVERNIGHT. xD.

Some of my friends think it's like hacking into a mainframe, and all that Hollywood garbage hahaha while others who are studying computer science probably think I'm inexperienced in comparison!!

To summerise, learning to write code takes mental energy. As code seems irelavent and mysterious, people aren't willing to invest mental energy into it. Thus they don't.
