   @philmyboots how about, everyone who uses technology has a right to create programs that automate that use?

     For me, 'program' is too wide a definition to answer the question accurately

     It encompasses a wide spectrum from optimising microcode for risc processors, to having the ability to change the times on your central heating boiler via the UI

     Generally, the further along the spectrum you go, the more advantageous it would be for people to learn those skills

     But the short answer is strong disagree

     Not everyone needs to. or has the inclination to 'program' stuff
