Good point. They're probably too poor to afford to hire someone to do it for them. /s

This is so fallacious it hurts. I guess people who play CoD, StarCraft and other reaction-intensive games are the smartest people on the planet.

If you want to put words in my mouth, I can't stop you.
I never said that software programming is easy.

Don't get me wrong--learning to code is a great intellectual exercise.
But the cynic in me questions whether a lot of the push to integrate coding into school/society is about diluting the software programmer field.
It's no secret that programmers command extremely high salaries, relative to their level of education. By increasing the number of people who can code, the value of the (average) programmer goes down.
