I agree with the article. It articulated some thoughts that I've been having.
There are bunch of comments that essentially say 'even a little code will make you better'. It's that claim that I would disagree with and why I don't think everyone should learn to code.
My belief is you actually need to achieve a fair degree of proficiency to be able to produce useful stuff with a computer. So to the extent people are learning to code but aren't going to reach the level a proficiency that's truly useful, I'm not sure its an optimal use of time.
EDIT: I would add that I do think CS should be taught starting in KG. That way everyone would be reaching a level of proficiency that's useful.
