    Only this government would put someone with the coding experience of a "five-year-old" in charge of a coding project: http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/interviews/386890/q-a-the-importance-of-coding-from-a-non-coder …

        @bazzacollins It's not government. Promoted by Osborne, but an industry project.

        @njkobie Ah, OK. Who's funding it? Website is stunningly opaque.

        @bazzacollins ...but other than have a website and do interviews, not sure what else they do that'd require funding, tbh.

        @njkobie Pay the exec director, chairman, and 21 advisors listed on the site?

        @bazzacollins Given none of them actually do anything, I'd be amazed there's any pay involved. But fair question, which I will ask.

        @njkobie It's another of these projects with unmeasurable targets that Martha Lane Fox specialises in. Oh look, who's on the advisor list?

        @bazzacollins What I take issue with is the general dumbing down of coding, and the idea anyone should or could do it...

        @bazzacollins Astonishingly, she sees it as an advantage! And it's utter bollocks to suggest coding is easier today - look at Objective C

        @kevpartner It's staggering hypocrisy. She says you must understand coding to commission a website, and yet she's running a coding project.

        @bazzacollins There's also the issue of pretending it's easy to code. It's like trying to get people playing piano by learning chopsticks

        @kevpartner Indeed. And if it was so easy, you'd have thought the chief executive would have it licked by now:)
