Enjoyed reading (in German) "Software development: Don't learn to program! - Learning to program is not enough. If you want to develop software, you need to be able to do three things above all: listen, abstract and model." https://www.heise.de/blog/Softwareentwicklung-Lern-bloss-nicht-programmieren-10493709.html

(In Q&As I always argue it is important to learn programming like writing. You do not have to become a author or a journalist, but you can use the skills in everyday life, solve some problems, and have a better understanding of society.)
