Honestly, I see a stronger argument for teaching programming like a basic subject, alongside english and math, even if the student has no intention of ever using it. As in everyone really should learn to code, regardless of what it does to the job market. There's a lot of really simple concepts that translate well into real life.

Hi. Can you elaborate on this? I'm basically an above average learner, as in, just above average, not beyond, so I've always excelled in subjects that don't require a lot of repeated practice or rote learning but always abandoned those which do such as advanced science, math, engineering etc. I love the idea of knowing how to code but I hate the idea of following a disciplined and rigorous approach to learning. This has turned me into an entrepreneur that prefers to leverage and utilize what is available out there instead of inculcating it in myself, which I find to be a waste. However, it does leave me feeling somewhat intellectually unfulfilled, at times. How can I motivate myself to learn to code? What are these simple concepts that may help me in general? Thank you.
