It is.<p>But it&#x27;s not in certain contexts.
Like in areas where a basic understanding of technology apply like on a tech blog or high profile position in politics or company where you make decisions that steer the tech sector, you&#x27;ll do best with some basic programming knowledge.<p>Nothing serious is needed either, just a few weeks of learning Python and just read up on the rest of the programming world and you should at least have some understanding on how everything works.<p>Because I see more and more people in areas where programming knowledge can apply say &quot;It&#x27;s okay to not learn how to code&quot; and people where it doesn&#x27;t apply never go out of their way to say that.<p>Knowing how to code isn&#x27;t always about getting a great job, sometimes it&#x27;s just about making yourself better at your existing one.
