>To fix this, we need to increase the currently tiny number of people who are able to write, modify, combine and share software. We need a tool that makes writing software easy and fun, and accessible to everyone. A tool that enables software literacy.

Just like Software Engineers don't need to know how to perform neurosurgery, accountants, marketers, burger flippers, and salespeople don't need to know how to write software. I'd rather the CEO of the company I work for spend time on growing the business, not learning how to write a "Hello, world!" program.
