" think it's interesting to consider the real possibility of a future where code-reading is a mainstream skill, and where writing is considered a specialisation. And where code writing is done with the expectation of serving the reader." Yeah, I can understand that as a good point. Still, as a person who was teaching Lit at a university for 8 years of my life, the idea that writing is the mantle of a special class and that reading is enough for the masses seems Writing (code / music / language) is easy enough that I'm not understanding why you wouldn't teach it to folks even if they can't do it at the same level as the texts they are capable of reading. Anyhow, best of luck with your ukulele experiments :D
