This article is built on a fundamentally invalid premise:

> 30-60% of CS college majors have failed their Introduction to Computer Science course because they simply could not learn to program.

This "You either have it or you don't" mindset is strikingly elitist. I simply don't buy the idea that there are people out there who absolutely cannot learn to program. I mean, put someone on a desert island and tell them they can't leave until they can write a program that uses a linked list, and I'm pretty sure most people would be able to get off the island eventually.

Of course, that doesn't mean that some people can learn to code more easily than others. But I'd be willing to posit that the vast majority of people could learn to code given enough time and the proper instruction.
