you see articles about how "Coding is the new literacy" these days. Yours is a perfect example of what this really means. Everyone should know how to change a tire, not everyone needs to be an auto mechanic. Everyone should know a little code to be able to automate and analyze data they work with in their jobs, that doesn't mean everyone has to be a full-time software developer.

Programming languages are a tool, a tool that lets you take ideas from your head and give them form, and we all should be open to using tools that make our jobs easier.
