Learning how to code.

My generation(s)/age group late 20s/early 30s — I'm a Millennial in the West and a Gen X when I'm from — was the very first to go through school and be taught some basic coding or, sadly, the very last to go through school and be taught absolutely no coding.

Interesting, I'm older, but in my day, everyone was told to learn basic. Then, everyone was told that it wasn't necessary, all the programs had already been written, just learn to use them

That's disturbing. "all the programs are already written"

I guess that was shortly before word, excel, autocad and friends turned "computing" into "IT"

Sure, that's the word I had in mind, as that's what we'd use in Spanish, I translated to computing as it sounded a bit old fashioned!!!

Informatique in French, so I use occasionally in English, but mostly get blank looks

King's and Edinburgh both call it Informatics.
