I agree saying everyone must learn to code is just like a designer saying "everyone must learn graphics design and photoshop".

- dasil003 13y agoIn this case it's more like an, um, ad exec saying everyone must learn graphic design.

- jasonlotito 13y agoYeah! Or like saying every needs to learn algebra or geometry! Biology or chemistry! Or heck, history!
- pidg 13y agoExactly. I can't help feeling some people are conflating the few people saying "everyone must code" with the larger number of those saying "anyone CAN code" here. Everyone should know a bit about coding, just as everyone should know a bit about design and a bit about how to write well. There's nothing wrong with encouraging people to give it a go, and there's nothing wrong with learning the basics of coding regardless of what role you're in. Just be prepared to let the pros do their jobs and don't assume your small amount of knowledge is equal (or superior).
- jasallen 13y agohuh. I kinda feel like everyone should learn a little graphic design. I get that I'm at odds with the general feeling here, but, eh, I'm comfortable being contrarian.
