Jason Bradbury Believes Coding Lessons In Schools Are a Waste of Time

[DEAD7]

Famous TV personality Jason Bradbury, who hosts The Gadget Show, believes that the UK government is wasting its time trying to teach kids learn how to code. In a recent interview, he said, 'My kids won't need to code because soon computers will just code for them. I fundamentally disagree with the government initiatives to get my kids coding. It's a complete waste of time. Soon startups will just be run by really creative people -- there won't be a coder with bad social skills stood on the stage. The future will just be about being creative. This is why we need to challenge STEM and introduce an art component and rename it STEAM -- science, technology, engineering, art and maths."

this guy sounds , angry and stupid
they should certainly learn to code, even if computers can self code
you need to understand how it works
and not just be a consumer
teaching coding and art are not mutually exclusive

If you are going to code, you need to master software and application level coding

Simple java and c wont cut it within 5-10 years

Yes computers will be able to write code better than humans within that timespan
