A) What Jeff thinks we're saying: "Everyone should be programmers so the world would be a better place"
B) What Jeff thinks is the right: "Everyone should be technically literate for their own good"
C) What we're actually saying: "Everyone should be technically literate for their own good"
You can observe that B and C are the same. So we actually agree, but some haven't noticed it yet. Only because the sentence "learn to code" can be very ambiguous. After having studied natural language programming, I've come to realize that 90% of disagreements between human beings derive from semantic misunderstanding of ambiguities. This is just yet another example. Kinda funny to be honest. Watching the blogs argue with each other is similar to watching Abbot and Costello arguing who is on first [1].
