This is seriously the dumbest theory yet in these threads. Maybe it's just making the rounds now? (it's not even the first time in this very discussion!)

Not only would it be a horrible return on investment (and one that would take years to come to fruition), it's also never brought up about every other coding initiative out there. Let me know when you start bringing this up in every thread about corporate-sponsored hackathons, education events, scholarship programs, or just plain old "getting started" guides.

Good news: I see three on the front page right now! I'll wait.
