If you’re dissatisfied with your dead-end job, watching this new Code.org video might push you over the edge and have you quitting before the end of the work day. The way professional coders like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates (who have made billions typing out ones and zeros) talk about it, coding is the most creatively fulfilling job you could have.

(Money quote from the singer: “Great coders are today’s rockstars.”) It’s all quite glamorous, and it’s a far cry from the “code monkey” image that some Americans probably have of coders. Computer programmers are no longer wearing suits and languishing in cubicles, they’re running around Facebook’s gorgeous Menlo Park campus wearing hoodies, instead, and making tons of money.
