I have been saying for years that the whole "must learn to program in highschool" thing was pointless. Most people will never write code and there is noting wrong with that.

The only reason why tech mega companies were investing in trying to force everyone to code is.... DING DING DING. To drive down wages. And all of that was BEFORE the "AI" stuff.

I agree 100%. We also don't need tech jobs or any jobs outsourced either. Especially since the savings are never passed along to the consoomer and are only used to boost profits and drive shareholder value.
