No! Absolutely not!
Why? Because i am an average mediocre programmer, i work 9-5 read on hacker news, have 3 small and crappy side projects and i suck monkey balls on design and css/html. Most of my skills are about fetching and massaging data from a database.
If everybody knew how to code my skills would not be a novelty anymore and my salary would not as high as it is now, also in my country being a programmer is seen as an advanced job among common people i would loose the little social status i currently have.
My paranoid mind already thinks that there are way too many smart people graduating with cs degrees and i sometimes wish that i was a programmer in the early 90s when people who wanted to learn to code were few in numbers and people with economics degrees where not able to learn rails in 3months.
I also strongly believe that in a nearby future programmers within my skill set and capacity will be replaced or just function as simple configuration admins with lower salary, as engineers makes implementing software easier by every year.
