Should you learn coding? Yes, says Michael Bloomberg! No, says Jeff Atwood! Yes, says Sacha Grief! Fuck it, don't learn ANYTHING! Wait, it could help you out at work! Especially if you're a judge! Well, you could always learn MORSE code...

I'm divided whether or not everybody should learn to code. Ideally you shouldn't HAVE to, but you need to learn SOMETHING about the tools you work with on a daily basis, and computers are no exception. If you think it might be fun, then go ahead and try it. Otherwise, you probably know someone else who is a programmer and who can help you.

Maybe that's what it should be. Instead of everybody learning to code, everybody should make friends with a programmer. Just not me, okay? I have plenty of other stuff on my plate these days....
