i think your emphasis on agency is good here. most people don't interact with the written word with agency, and I don't expect most will do better with code i think this is interesting in its own right but also note it in context of your concern about <1% of ppl coding

I guess to extend the semantics game further, what % of people in the iron age could forge iron, or bronze in the bronze age? My guess is < 1%.

Im not sure code in its current form is the final one. I think it’s with us for a while and they should teach it in school, but most of the time you’re interacting with something like GPT that generates code. Wrote about it here https://blog.replit.com/codingai pic.twitter.com/k0GgbAt1Gw

this is an incredibly lonely idea, if you're in that 1% priesthood it probably explains the existence of tech cities, being a priest in the middle of nowhere with a net <1% distribution of people that can understand the craft/mental models i should probably move to one

i have mixed feelings about this but i think you're substantially correct even when remote in a physical sense, though, we're always at home Here :)

instead of every random small city having a "motto" or a "bird" or a "sister city 1000s of miles away", each should have a very specific subject whose Priesthood congregates there already some examples: surfer towns, climber towns
