"Everyone can code" - Tim Cook
Clearly you've never met my team!

Yes tim, everyone can code but few are competent enough to make a career from it.

and now we know why MS software is so full of bugs!

It's belittling to coders everywhere to say anyone can code. Why do they have interviews then? Just throw a stone. Hire whomever it lands on right?

@aokayla oops. took it out of context.

@rkzo I think it's more of a 'you can do anything if you put your mind to it' type of statement.

just because they can, doesn't mean they should

@mfmbarber That's the jist of my first comment.

I hate the "everyone can code" push they are having. it's nice to have people know coding and I would certainly love more developers in community, but let's just except it everyone can't code

Everyone can, but some definitely shouldn't! 😂

My reply to this kind of statement is usually:

Yes; anyone can code, coding is easy; software engineering is hard.

Think about it anyone can buy bricks and build a half decent wall but would you let them build your house?

@querellaMMXII Brutal!

This conversation reminded me Ratatouille. The chef boyardee character days anybody can cook, Ego:"no" , Rat:"no he meant everybody has the potential to become a great cook", ego:"yes"

Anyone can code a hello world program the rest needs commitment.
