My gf showed me an post on 9gag that had a lot of truth; "knowing how to code nowadays is the equivalent of knowing how to read in mediaeval times"

No it's not, if you don't know how to code you'll not really fail to execute any receipt you found on web or you'll not fail to create Shopify store and sell your products

Coding is not equivalent of reading

In medieval times, learning how to read wasn't really necessary to perform day-to-day tasks for the vast majority of people.
