Everyone should learn to code.
Opening6.7
Even with AI writing code, you need to read it to know if it is right. For example, a little code lets anyone automate boring parts of their own work. Both points lead to the same place.Opening7.2
Forcing code on everyone makes people hate it, the same way many hate maths. For example, aI already writes most simple code. Time is better spent learning to describe problems clearly. Start there and the rest follows.Rebuttal5.9
You keep coming back to "anyone", but that only tells half the story. Not everyone should learn plumbing either. Specialisation is how society works. Look at real examples and this is the pattern you see again and again.Rebuttal6.9

You do not need to be a programmer. You need to not be scared of a program. Remember, even with AI writing code, you need to read it to know if it is right. The evidence points one way, and so do I.Closing5.1
Teach clear thinking. Let the dots write the syntax. Remember, forcing code on everyone makes people hate it, the same way many hate maths. That is why this side should win today.
