The title is not the same as "Why Not Everyone Should Learn To Code". I strongly disagree with the title. As for the article I don't think that the reasons cited are particularly strong. Buggy code is not a reason not to code. Though people who often write buggy code should know their limitations. Programming is not as unlikely to occur as rocket science or lawyering. People take physics and government as classes and in the same manner I don't see why programming should not be an equally basic subject. The easy-programming reasons are not things that disqualify you from being a programmer. All programmers would like to do those things. It is merely the actual programmers that have gone ahead and learned things the hard way. I don't think programming classes would create a huge influx of programmers vying for jobs as depicted any more than math classes have created a surplus of mathematicians or biology classes have left us drowning in biologists.
