It's interesting to me that the author links to an article about how coding is useless for journalists, and then spends the rest of the article talking about all the web-scraping scripts she's written or could easily write. For me, this seems like a success of the whole teach-everyone-to-code thing; the author's picked up a bit of simple scripting and it's made some things dramatically easier for her. It's certainly not professional-level, but that's normal; for example, many people think programmers should know how to write, but few think they should all be able to churn out high-caliber journalism. Is this a failure of setting expectations, or is that really where some people are setting the bar?
