It’s very in vogue to say that everyone should learn to program. Code.org and other organizations are talking about how important (and useful) it is to learn to program. Is that true? Is that a good idea?  Is it even possible?  And of the people learning to code now, how many are going to be full-time professional engineers, and how many will simply be better-informed people?  What does this mean for the people who are actually coding full time?  In this talk Farrah Bostic reminds us that there programming is not just a profession, and that this isn’t necessarily a bad thing — for individuals, and society.
