The other day a friend of mine was playing Taboo. Her word was "network" and she'd been prompted with "what makes the Internet work" or something similar. Her initial guess was "magic".

This is why I believe the "learn to code" movement is fantastic and an obvious net benefit to society -- the more people we have who understand, even loosely, how integral pieces of our lives function, the better.

To me it has nothing to do with these people producing code or entering the programming profession. I devour books on psychology but I don't entertain the notion of becoming a psychologist. I read them to inform and improve my daily life in some small measure.
