They certainly won't be threatening your job any time soon. We won't be educating a new generation of programmers when 80% of users' primary computing device is a phone.
- oh_sigh 11y agoWhy not? You can get a computer which runs linux, and lets you learn how to program, for far cheaper than the average cell phone costs. For example raspberry pi runs linux and you can buy it for $30. Right now the thing that is stopping more people from learning programming is probably the unfriendliness that is associated with setting up your environment for the first time and learning everything from scratch.
- dublinben 11y agoThe $30 price of a RaspberryPi is pretty disingenuous. You also need over $100 of accessories to actually use it as a desktop computer.
