I was about to make the exact same comment. People should automate their most boring and mindless tasks, that&#x27;s the only way to achieve large further productivity gains. It&#x27;s never going to be economical to pay a developer salary full time to analyse and automate everyone&#x27;s little tasks. But for that coding needs to be simpler, easier to do occasionally. VBA-style (but VBA was a 90s language that was never updated since). In that spirit, teaching C++ in school is counter-productive.<p>Exactly like everyone shouldn&#x27;t need to be a professional carpenter, but have a basic DIY tools and know how to assemble some ikea furniture. Or basic physics understanding to know what to do and not to do with an electrical socket!
