My kid will just beat up your kid and steal the code

I say, it's parenting negligence not to get your kid educated in coding computers.
Computer programming isn't for everyone. I'm much more right brained than left and don't have the analytical skills to really succeed in programming.
I took C++ in college.

Got a CSC degree. To date I have used it to make 0 dollars since getting it 13 years ago.

Didn't leverage it into IPSec?

I took some vb.net classes for my math minor though. I use that now from time to time.

He'll be coding how the robot turns the wrench, fool.

Ruby on Rails is gaining traction but not entirely mainstream atm.
its relatively mainstream but there is wayyyyyy more written in Javascript, java, SQL, etc than Ruby on Rails.
I have never fricked around with Ruby On Rails, but I hear if you know python and/or javascript you can pick it up in a few days.

Not very. Programs are becoming way more advanced to where coding will become obsolete because the programs will do what you say and give you the output you want.
Coding will basically become like MS DOS. You used to have to know how to work that to work a computer. Now, everything is done for you.
Website creating is a perfect example. You can have zero coding experience in HTML, Java, etc. and build a beautiful website.

I took an IP course during law school and RAN away. I loved coding and I was a tech junkie back in the late 90s and early 00s. I took one look at a patent application and figured I would rather get punched in the stomach daily than look at one daily.
I would say that knowing general coding theory and other stuff is a good idea. I tried to get my 11 y/o into it but he would rather play fortnite.

This is just straight up wrong. Java, Python, SQL PHP, and Javascript existed 20 years ago. Unless there is some other language that is dominating that I don't know about.
So much of coding is learning how to do it, languages are mostly just syntax. So even if in 20 years the languages are all different it won't matter that much.
I'm not saying Java didn't literally exist 20 years ago. But a kid messing around with Java in the 90's during computer camp is IMO not even remotely applicable to an adult using Java 10 in a professional setting other than in an intangible "that's where I got my start" kind of way.

so, you didn't learn to swim? Is that what this is about?

Yeah, that's not really what coding is about...sure it's the way to communicate with the computer...but it is more about math concepts or math machines for easier work.

Aren't people who are bullied usually the ones that go on to be the most successful? A little bullying is good for a child.
That's what's wrong with our country. They took away bullying and now we are raising a bunch of gender neutral pussies.

Well that is what you wrote out.

That kid would be much better prepared to be a contributor having learned java 20 years ago, vs. a kid that didn't learn how to code.
I wrote my first computer program in 1983. I know that learning programming in 1983 has helped me in my career.

Most important thing is to teach kids to explore and learn. They will then figure out something useful to do. Who knows what will be important in 18 years but if your kids know how to learn they'll be fine. World is changing really fast now.
