Maybe the problem is that we, as the computer scientists of our age need to make it easier for people who are not coders to build things and make machines work for them as well? Like you said its about solving problems. In that respect, coding is like a plier, much like any other tool in the box, except its one thats (mostly) incomprehensible to a majority of people--and thats partially our fault. To scratch my little sunday morning dystopian itch, it makes you think that in the future what may happen is that society will be further divided into classes, except it will be the ruling, technical class and the non-technical class. Just playing a little devil's advocate cause I'm a bit bored this morning...
