I think the next big thing in software is going to be that almost every office worker will start writing basic software. Maybe in a python like language.

People spend a lot of time and effort to do simple repetitive stuff that anybody can do with a 10 line python script. They don't do it because nobody has told them it's that easy.

30-40 years ago, an average office worker wouldn't use a word processor for typing out documents. They would have probably used a typewriter or written it by hand. Now everybody uses Microsoft Word. And they use it well, without major issues.

The same thing will happen to python or another language like it.

At my current work I use linux and bash to rename files, filter csv data, and basic summary statistics why? one day I asked a colleague of mine to count the number of occurrences of a persons name in a google sheet...watched him count using his mouse.

I'd like for people to get to python levels of coding no matter how light, but baby steps first.
