Thank you for the good discussion. I try to think of it more as 'learning to walk before running'. You are right, a lot of people can learn how to code and to them it is a good skill to learn.

A much larger part of poor people would benefit greatly by learning how to speak/write/read better. When I visited the US I was shocked by the large difference in people. I literally couldn't understand some people. For us (Northern European) folks it's hard to imagine so much Americans really do live in a 3rd world part of the US it seems.
