Please do learn to code
This morning I woke up to dozens of messages from students who had read an article titled “Please Don’t Learn to Code.”
At first, I assumed Jeff Atwood’s 2012 article had spontaneously reappeared on Reddit. But no — this was a brand new Tech Crunch article of the same name, which echoed Atwood’s assertion that encouraging everyone to learn programming is like encouraging everyone to learn plumbing.
