Is it just me, or was the entire &quot;question&quot; in the article irrelevant? Like, yes just &quot;learning to code&quot; doesn&#x27;t make you a good programmer. But just &quot;learning to write&quot; doesn&#x27;t make you a good author either. You have to get an introduction and basic skills somewhere, even if most people will never go on to develop or profit from those skills.
