Learning to walk/bike is in no way comparable to learning to code. Learning to walk/bike is primarily a physical muscular action to train your body to keep it's balance etc. Once you have learned to walk or bike, you have learned it. Learning to code is an activity of the brain where there is no clear defining line as to when you have learned. You might feel that you have learned a few languages or frameworks but there is still more or still something else that you can learn. So, it's amore gradual and continuous process. Hope this makes sense. |

Go tell that to someone who competes in running or biking.

Again, same goes for biking: There are all kinds of tricks you can do. Yet once people manage to ride a bicycle for a few hundred meters without falling they have picked up the concept and we say they can. Even if there are still lots to learn (traffic rules, all kinds of neat tricks etc)
I argue that the same goes for coding: Once people understand the basic building blocks and start writing their first useful or amusing program from their own imagination we say they can program.
At this point they can start making their own and possibly also other peoples lives more comfortable. Start making their own prototypes which is what I read from the original post.
Would you hire them as programmers? I would not. Do they need to read more books or attend more courses to start prototyping their own ideas like the original post was talking about? Thankfully not.
