From Wikipedia

"Learn to Code" was a slogan and a series of public influence campaigns during the 2010s that encouraged the development of computer programming skills in an economy increasingly centered on information technology. The campaigns led to endorsements from politicians, the inclusion of programming in state school curricula, and the proliferation of coding bootcamps. Learning to code has a long history, with moments of enthusiasm and anxiety about computational literacy and the best methods to learn programming skills. A backlash erupted in 2019 in the form of online harassment of laid-off American journalists.
