Yes, the 50 year old pipefitter that is trying to get his kid through college is going to "learn to code" and get a razzle dazzle fantastic job in Silicon Valley and there's no way, that some H1B Visa girl from Ireland or Apou from Indian isn't going to work that same job for a lower wage and with less benefits.
Union workers have been voting themselves out of union jobs for the last 40 years. They have yet to realize, at least in the private sector, their union stewarts and reps, aren't doing what is best for the workers. They are doing what is best for the Democrat party. It's already the case in the U.S. that 90% of union jobs are government jobs or are forced by law (Bacon Davis Act) to contract with government. I often wonder, if it weren't for the Bacon Davis Act, if there would be any private sector unions in the U.S. at all anymore because they pretty much only work government jobs because they're priced out of in the private sector.

Most "coders" can't even pass the Fizz Buzz test; they're shit. We don't need "more" of them, we need COMPETENT ones.
“Learn to code” is almost exclusively a term used by people who don’t know how to code
