'coding' is the new 'web', just 16+ years later. How many 'webmaster' and 'web developers' degrees, wanabees and 'experts' did it take for people to realize that it's not a /given/ and that some people are actually made for /that/ job while many others are not?<p>It'll just ruin the lives of quite a few people who'll, again, invest time, money, and come down crashing down to earth a little while later.<p>And, I agree with the author. Most of the time spent 'coding' (god I hate that word, I feel like my job is transcoding ASCII to EBCDIC by hand when I read that) should be spent sitting down looking at the ceiling instead.
