Yeah, it overlooks the fact that with many of the tools we use now, a little coding can go a long way. I'm far more productive in my job because I can manage to make some of my own tools instead of waiting for the IT department to provide me with something that will likely be not what I asked for, if they even ever get around it it.

There is certainly a place for "a little coding", as you put it. I used to work in an investment bank where traders would write their own Excel macros to perform duties it would've taken months for them to get IT to implement. But building most production-worthy software is not what "learning to code" is about. I guess I'm just trying to re-draw the line. Wouldn't want to stop anyone coding :-)
