> Code is becoming the new lingua franca of Web activists around the nation
No, it's not. The sentence doesn't even make sense.
> If you can code, you can launch new movements, upend traditional campaign dynamics and pressure candidates in a low-cost, high-tech and highly effective way.
Your power to start a movement online has absolutely nothing to do with if you're a programmer or not.
Honestly, I've stopped reading after this.
- microcentury 15y agoCompletely agreed on both points. The first line is so baffling I read it twice. Do they think programmers talk to each other in this mysterious 'code'? The writer of this article would be deeply disappointed by a glance at Code Academy.
- moocow01 15y agoI pity the soul who as a result of this article goes to codecademy blindly thinking they are going to learn this new lingua franca that will allow them to 'upend traditional campaign dynamics'.
