Improving the nation's overall STEM skills is more important than just trying to focus on programming. Programming is not the hard part -- planning, deducing, structuring, hypothesizing, analyzing and so on.

Maybe not to the same level as a developer on HN, but at least to know how software works and the fundamentals of programming/controlling the machine.
