If you're saying some jobs that today require "Excel" will require "Excel with VBA", sure. But I'm skeptical that programming will become some sort of new literacy. It seems to me that programming has narrower applicability than, say, high school math. Still, most non-programmers seem to forget their high school math, and they get by just fine in careers where numeracy would be useful from time to time, but is just not essential. No one considers them illiterate.

I wrote a book to fix that: http://noBSgui.de/to/MATHandPHYSICS/

This book is like calling `apt-get install hs-math mech calc`.

I was not very interested in math in school or university (I suppose due to the lack of context and focus).

Now after working a few years as a web developer, a goal of mine is to revisit and study math and physics.

I've bookmarked your "No-Bullshit" Guide. Thanks for sharing.
