 If everyone could program, would you feel less self-worth?
mmt: I would suggest that writing:coding::reading:computer-use. Arguably, we already have an appropriate term in "computer literacy."That is, I agree (assuming "coding" is equivalent to "customization" or, perhaps, even "confinguration") that we're rapidly approaching computer literacy as a required required skill, if we aren't there already.All that said, I disagree that it's easy to imagine a world where programming is a required skill, nor even that programming is a skill. Rather, it is a combination of talent and skills.Programmer:computers::novelist:books::reporter:periodical.All that said, even if everyone could program, that wouldn't make them all equally successful, so my self-worth would not be affected. Besides, I consider myself a sysadmin, not a programmer.
