I was doing x86 assembly coding as a teenager, and certainly didn&#x27;t need nudging.  I also taught myself calculus, physics, and even material engineering.  I don&#x27;t see any problem with kids coding.  It looks like other people are comparing it to chess or soccer?  I would compare it to Math, which is taught to people.  I&#x27;m not sure why people would feel like only certain people can do it (like soccer or chess).  I don&#x27;t feel threatened if more people code.  Maybe I&#x27;ll create (another) language to teach my kids if I have any.
