I would like to defend the "everybody can code" movement a bit. First of all, I'm sure we both support the idea of giving everyone the opportunity to learn coding. Along with that, however, I want to point out that the movement is not intended to make everyone a programmer. Not every child will become a programmer, and I think everyone recognizes that. The point of the movement is that a basic understanding of programming is becoming necessary for many jobs, and that even a basic idea of how to code can get one person a job over another person with no experience. The movement is about raising the baseline coding knowledge above 0, not about making everyone into a programmer.
