I agree with this sentiment. Learning how to cook teaches you how to appreciate food, and helps you think differently about how food is prepared and even consumed. Learning how to code, even if you don't become a professional programmer, will help you appreciate the software you use. It may also help you think differently about life, become better at problem solving (debugging IRL!), or at minimum, get frustrated at all the software you use on a day-to-day basis, because you know you would have designed it better. ;-)
