Don't quote me out of context

I definitely think people should be exposed to programming in school, but we study physics and chemistry there too and nobody expects everyone to be a physicist or chemical engineer. Specialization is a good thing.

I am saying that people should be taught programming in school, like literacy and mathematics, but that doing so is not going to prepare students to make production-grade software. We need actual engineers for that.
