“Learn to code? Really.”
Years ago back in college a professor (sciences) said something like “Okay - so computing it becoming a REAL BIG thing. You guys need to come up with the solutions. And then hire some high-school kid to program it into code.”
My first job at a small firm, that’s what the owner did. We would come up with the ideas, and the kid would create the programs. Except I think he was Junior High. At the time he was learning to fly, and the airport was always screwing up the scheduling. So he created scheduling software for small airports and sold it to them and others!
I wasn’t putting down coding per se. I was saying coding isn’t a survival skill like the 20th century man skills he wants males to ditch.
Coding won’t be of much use if an EMP fries the electric grid.
