It is a great way to leave only the natural born coders (swimmers/painters/musicians/whatever). Which of course is the opposite of egalitarian.
- k__ 10y agoI don't think there are any "natural born coders" Most of us started coding because we wanted to do something that needed code. I started because I needed IRC bots, then I wanted to make games and websites. That's a big motivator for starting things. Just "Learning to code" is plain boring.
