can you explain why? i think as we progress most things will "just work" and coding will become easier and more fluid meaning even less people need to know how to code.

Nah... not at all. We are moving away somewhat from the "need to understand the underlying machine architecture" of 80's coding, but most things will not "just work" and they will not just work for various hard to understand reasons (the encrypted wifi link to the UAV might be affecting the rendering on the CV library...) - and everything will get further away from someone who cannot use a keyboard.

THink perhaps less "new literacy" and maybe "new car driving". But I feel literacy is more the thing.
