I'm interested to see, as better systems for teaching coding develop, popularity and awareness of its accessibility builds, it begins to go mainstream, and the marketplace becomes more competitive and wages decline, is, will the oldguard agitate for economic protection?
Edit: From the sounds of things, it's going to be very interesting:
Dan Melton, deputy chief technology officer at Granicus, a San Francisco-based startup that puts government data in the cloud, has hired two students with humanities backgrounds from App Academy. He said he looks for those students because they’re able to work better with other programmers and clients and understand the larger meaning of the work.
"We already have a lot of software whiz kids," Melton said. "We like to hire people who are interested in public affairs and civic engagement."
Sounds like it's going to be quite the culture change.
