"can you explain to me how Michael Bloomberg would be better at his day to day job of leading the largest city in the USA if he woke up one morning as a crack Java coder?" I certainly can't, but the sample set of one doesn't make for a convincing body of evidence. Moreover he's chosen to cherry pick someone in a position as a figure head/leader who has to delegate nearly all of his work as a function of time constraints. Generally speaking, Michael Bloomberg shouldn't learn to code but it wouldn't hurt if one of his advisers did. "You should be learning to write as little code as possible. Ideally none." This conflates individual programming best practices with a desired limit on the total amount of software written across teams and programmers. "It assumes that coding is the goal." Wrong. Most proponents of software education want people to understand the domain enough to function and _maybe_ get things done. I stopped reading at this point.
