"You’ll not be eaten by computers any more than folks were eaten by electricity 100 years ago."
Although I enjoyed the post and agree with a lot of it, I disagree with comparing coding skills to humans having access to electricity. In think coding today is like writing was 500 years ago.
In the past you would hire a literate person to read your documents, write you letters, and so forth. Today we hire programmers to help us get the most of our computers. I think reading and writing code will be the new way to make the most of computers in the future. It may not necessarily be through the coding tools and languages we have now.
