I agree that not everybody needs to code. I disagree with the implication that the current ecosystem isn’t excluding some people who could code: it is.
Frankly, a lot of people who currently write code are only writing code because they stumbled across the right combination of tools: reducing the barrier to entry will only improve things.
- mmmateo 5y agoA lot of people know basic HTML/CSS and the next generation is learning it in their computer classes, but there aren’t many tools that let them leverage it to build actual websites. If there were, people wouldn’t be so forced into proprietary, expensive solutions. And a lot more people would realize code isn’t that hard. That’s what we’re trying to do with primo (https://primo.af https://primo.af).
