Jeff Atwood's blog posts are always good value. This one is no exception.

Re: "Please Don't Learn to Code"

Carl Tollander
If you are going to lead people, you need to come to some understanding of the depth of your own ignorance about what they do everyday.   Many administrative crashes come from some manager thinking about what the managed do in terms of "how hard could it be?"  So yeah, Bloomberg should learn something about code and coding, then sensibly forebear.   Unless, maybe he discovers he likes it and is good at it, and decides to retire from mayorhood.  Ya never know.

Of course it could go horribly awry.   But then, that's not unique to coding.
