I'm sceptical about this article. I think author contradicts himself at a time, and certain ideas aren't well presented (like, coding is not syntax, unless we disagree on definition of "coding"). While at the end author talk about good values, somehow the subject is viewed in harsh light. Coding, like reading, shouldn't be forced blindly. But that doesn't mean parents, who're literate, shouldn't be also familiar with code.
