> the idea that everyone should become a programmer is honestly just plain wrong.

I'm not saying that everyone should be a programmer. I'm saying that everyone who chooses to be a programmer and who produces useful code should have the ability to share their application with other people -- who may not be programmers.

Think of it like YouTube. YouTube doesn't replace film studios. But there's a whole lot of content on YouTube that you probably like, but that would never be produced by a film studio.
