Or, the more people who can code, the less valuable the skill? Meh, or not.

Maybe it's not supply & demand, but a network effect:

For reading, I would argue the ability to read become more valuable as the literacy rate increases, as society starts to run on the written word.

Perhaps computer literacy is the same.

That's interesting. When would you use a supply & demand model versus network effects to explain a trend?
The more people who can code, the more demand there will be for advanced training from experienced coders. The hackers of today will be the teachers of tomorrow :)
