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 :-)
