Replying to @visakanv
Unsolicitedly telling someone "Learn to code noob": boorish. If my cousin was a journalist and got laid off and ask for advice? Oh heck yes, learn to code. It will make you instrumentally more effective at every profession *after weeks* and has high-quality jobs available.

(I will note that I get a lot more negative feedback from "Every journalist would be a more effective journalist if they knew how to write a ruby script" than I get from "Every engineer would be a more effective engineer if they could write usefully" but both are true.)
