    My favorite line was “All high school kids should learn to code.”. What? No they shouldn’t. Maybe a computer literacy course should be required, but there’s no reason for everyone on earth to know how to code.

      They should know a little bit about coding. Not to become Devs, but just so they have an understanding of what it is and about how it makes the world work.

      Hard disagree. Everyone should learn basic logic and how to do simple automations on the computer. It really is basic computer literacy. And conputers are a near and increasingly more so constant in every part of the economy.

      Specialing in software engineering isnt needed, the same way everyone should basics about food and nutrition but not every needs to be a cheif.
