"Learn to code" was started by the Left, who mocked coal miners that instead of wrecking the environment and being shitty useless black-collar workers with no future because Green Energy, they should "learn to code".
Then when a shitload of journalists from one of the Leftist garbage-news sites (I think it was Gawker, which got sued and bankrupted by Peter Thiel) got laid off a few years ago, people tweeted at them to "learn to code". Then that suddenly became "racist hate speech" because we were mocking the doubleplusgoodthink crowd.
