How does that old saying go, 'If you have to ask, then the answer is probably no'. It's shocking the number of people that show up on this site and ask, 'Should I quit my job and create a startup?'. Probably not. Should you drop out of college? Don't. Should you learn to code? Not really.
The amount of learning resources we have in this day and age due to the Internet makes the question 'Should I learn (blank)' egregious. If curiosity hasn't compelled you to look up an intro tutorial/book, then just forget about it. The first question you ask on the internet should not be 'Should I learn to code?', it should be 'Why won't my hello-world program run?'.
