I went into this article assuming it would take the position that we should instead be teaching people to code rather than children specifically. There are plenty of adults who have had their jobs displaced by software that could do with a hand. But it's a thinly disguised rant about the author's personal preferences in life direction. It seems like the author thinks there's no middle ground between creating a startup and being a "code monkey". What's wrong with "taking a corporate job"? I agree that programming as a profession isn't for everyone, but the article almost contradicts itself - if the author hadn't learned to program, the apparel company wouldn't be able to rely on his software. A perfect example of how software literacy can be used outside an explicit programming position.
