I think everyone should in the Heinlein "specialization is for insects" sense, along with sonnet writing/manure pitching etc.

I think everyone should spend more time making things they can love. If you think software is a thing you can love, then sure. I also understand a lot of people are too tired after working three shifts at minimum wage jobs to make things they love, and I think thats a problem.

I sometimes see "Everyone should learn to code" proposed as a solution to unemployment/decrease is skilled labor, but its not a very intelligent solution. The labor market only needs people who love coding. A large group of people who are doing it because they 'should' can't be supported by the current market.
