I have no idea what this article is about. I do know that p2p decentralized work is going on worldwide to free us all from the evils of corporate centralized censorship and control. Plenty of "hackers" are working on these projects, like GNUnet, and Secure Share.
Coursera.org, Khanacademy, MIT open courseware and Stanford free online courses are helping to eliminate the financial hurdles of getting a computer science education. Last time I checked there were millions of lectures and courses/bootcamps uploaded to youtube to just teach programming and algorithms as well. Anybody can program if they want to now, though they could before anyways just by reading K&R and using free software.
- rubinelli 14y agoI see one hurdle left: people can learn how to program with any of these great projects if they know English. One can argue that English is the new Latin, a language that anyone with a minimum of education is supposed to know, but to go on a tangent and into a completely unrelated field, I wonder if geniuses like Messi and Ronaldo would have reached the top of their profession if they had to have a working knowledge of English even before they could join their first soccer match.
