The 1970s called. It wants its uninformed futuristic bullshit back. "Everyone should learn to code" is a bit ridiculous, given that technology's biggest problem right now isn't a lack of capable coders, but that of the competent people who are out there, few are rarely trusted to tackle real work. (See today's blog post: http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2014/05/30/technologys-loser-problem/ http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2014/05/30/technologys-l...). The theory might be that AI will render programmers obsolete. The reality is that we've been commoditized and humiliated by process and business nonsense, even though we're nowhere close to achieving AI. What has actually rendered our prospects poor in comparison to what they should be isn't AI but the diametric opposite: Human Stupidity.
