Yet another article exhorting everyone to 'learn to code'. Which misses the mark. It's true that there are a large amount of tech jobs. It's also rare that people, who would otherwise be uninterested in technology, become useful programmers. If there was a suddenly an overwhelming demand for workers who could do calculus all day, that doesn't mean a larger contingent of people would be suited that that type of work. Additionally employers are discovering that the old trope about 'all kids know computers these days' was an unfounded assumption. Sure 'they all grew up with the internet', but people grew up around cars and there are plenty of terrible drivers. The real issue (which the author touches on) is that new graduates often don't have any inherently valuable skills at anything. If you can solve expensive problems demonstrably, you'll do fine even if you don't know python.
