Interesting juxtaposition of articles like this saying 'coders are the future' and the articles on India saying 'coders are not programmers'. I think the tech talent shortage is more about programmers than coders, but its not at all clear that everyone agrees.
I thought of that article too, I think we need more of everything - coders, programmers, it will fuel entrepreneurship if more people will have the tools to do more with what we already know.
