Some people can be taught to write code, however far fewer can be taught to or have the natural ability to problem solve. This is the 'art' aspect behind software development that I feel the 'teach everyone to code' approach overlooks. With any creative field there is a huge amount of 'prior art' that exists and that is also constantly evolving, and the more of this you are at least aware of or - better still - capable of reproducing, the better you will be able to express yourself / problem solve with software. I hope I am not alone in feeling that looking at the code of a well-engineered and well-structured project can be quite the artistic-appreciation experience, and that this experience always leaves you with some piece of knowledge and understanding you didn't have beforehand. |
