Is it another attempt to "make programming easy"?. I keep wondering if it's even possible. Can everyone be code literate? or do you have to have an "algorithmic" (for lack of a better word) way of thinking? Is it something like woodworking class vs real carpentry?
Minecraft, for example, opened a door to system thinking to a lot of young people, but there's probably many more that just like the fun and not the understanding and craft, so maybe those people's brain already leaned towards it?
Right now we're in peak "Everyone should know how to code" but sometimes it seems like we keep chasing the golden goose - Visual Basic, Dreamweaver, Node based programming, Webflow etc.
Edit: forgot to add that the CEO has that confident delusional/visionary vibe so this certainly fits the bill. Time will tell which it is.
