There are barely any jobs left where people don't work with software each day.
- lifeisstillgood 5y agoI meant (said, not emphasised) on. As in writing code. If you write code, you are in my view a digital native. You will try to arrange the world so it can be iterated over. If you can't write code you are just a consumer. If think we can extend this a little - my son is trying to make his own videos - at some point he or his peers will use digital cameras, sound, editing and probably the new "dynamic production" things like fortnites engine. This will transform tens or hundreds of thousands or millions of people from just consumers to producers in the same way blogs (and foss) did for newspapers. It's hard to draw a distinct line, because someone skilled in video production might not write software - but I would say it is safer to draw the line at "writes code" and be fuzzy than anything else.
- rjzzleep 5y agoSure, but that doesn't make you software literate in the sense that the parent was talking about. I'd say even as a software programmer you can be just a consumer. Most developers are.
