Learning to code

[minestrone]

What? We are only just planning on introducing teaching kids to school. Too late by 20 years. No wonder I have to charge so much and put up with utter buffoons.

Ain't that the truth, I cannot fathom how so many people who work in the software industry cannot actually write software.

all this will mean is rather than having lots of lazy work shy plumbers/bricky/sparks moaning about the poles, bobs, micks, wops n kikes knicking their jobs we can also add lazy coders to the list?

Very true

[original PM]

is this not just another thing to offer unemployed/unemployable adults

you know like the do bricky/plumber/spark courses maybe this is for the fat lard arses who make up excuses for not being able to do manual labour - e.g. becuase they are a fat lard arse...

Its like learning any new language, its harder to do when you are an adult, whether this is a linguistic language or programming language

[The Spartan]

Does it really matter when it seems that regardless of skill they're only interested in the cheapest possible option

because they have given up on Adults?

Why shouldn't adults learn to code too? - Telegraph

Why are they teaching children to code? The future is East. I suppose it might help some of them emigrate at some point.
