I the old days, I remember the adults all saying "Everyone will know a little programming in the future. It will be like the development of wide-spread literacy from the 17th through the 20th centuries." Doing some programming on the side as a hobby or as an adjunct to other professional work is "on track" with what the computer science luminaries from the 70s were saying. Though... I've often said Excel is a programming language, only that you get to program a data-flow virtual machine one cell at a time. So... I think more people are programming than know it.
