my notes app suddenly revealed the link I read a while ago, due to the fact that I rewrote search function: http://www.chris-granger.com/2015/01/26/coding-is-not-the-new-literacy/

I remember this one! I kinda didn't feel like it disagreed with me much even though I care about people learning programming. Because I think of programming as "using the best modeling tools we've managed to come up with so far." Imagine you lived in Ancient Rome. Imagine saying it wasn't worth learning numbers because the Roman numeral system sucks, and you're just sure there's something new called "positional notation" about to launch real soon now. So there's no "the" new literacy. There are only occasional "a" new literacies. And they're few enough and far enough apart that we shouldn't ignore any of them.

If anything, I believe what I wrote there even more than before and I think we have all the pieces to truly make it a reality now 😄
