Agreed (in fact my profile claims I do artisanal software :-)
But I go further - software is a form of literacy, and everyone should learn to code, just as at some point we thought “hey laws are written down, novels are great, policy manuals and international letters help, let’s teach the peasents to read” and all of a sudden we have working class people going to university and discovering things like Relativity and Covid vaccines.
Software is literacy and we will all benefit when we can run / examine our society through it.
