I think the rising interest of people to learn how to code is a trend that can't (and probably shouldn't be) stopped. The post uses an analogy of everyone wanting to be chef. My sense is that it's more like everybody wants to learn how to cook something. There is a big difference in the kind of qualifications and experience you need to be a chef in restaurant or a developer working on a secure banking platform, than cooking a meal at home or someone building a small social app our of interest. Those we'd better not get mixed up :) I do hope that from a technology / security standpoint we'll see some innovations that would at least help inexperienced developers produce more secure code, by possibly hiding some of the complexity from them. Tall task - I know. But as I said, at the end of the day you do want your critical 24x7 apps to be written by pros. Just my two cents.
