Why isn't programming taught more in schools?

I'm not talking about the "learn to code me" about people becoming software devs. I'm just talking about why isn't everyone in college, taught at least VBA and R or Python (for biz and STEM majors). It's so god damn useful and doesn't require you to know a bunch of autistic comp sci stuff. And I have a feeling programmers jobs would be a lot easier if non-programming professionals could automate their own tasks, instead of relying on autists to make a bloated desktop app for them.

Or is this just the crackpipe dream of ever Jow Forumstard?

The more retarded they are the more jobs we have

Most jobs that require a college education don’t have a lot of stuff to automate easily

Ur such a faggot

And I still get more pussy than you.

doubtful

pls list, i like yang(not voting for him because he doesnt have a chance in hell), but im under the impression there is very little that cant be automated, though i feel like there should be more i cant think of off the top of my head

I'm not talking about the entire job, just particular tasks.

Maybe it's because modern programming requires a complex of mostly useless knowledge only needed to use someone else's work and ideas.

>more shit code in the world
you're going to kill people pushing this

I'm not talking about them writing applications, just little scripts to help them with the repetitive parts of their jobs. Basically the entire point of computers.

okay, makes sense

The whole point of being able to download executable code is that nobody needs to be a programmer, which actually increases productivity for the group as a whole.

Basic skills are getting more and more useless in society in general, having one extremely difficult to acquire skill matters much more than an ocean of general skills. If you can't be replaced in the one skill then you can find just anyone do to the other things for you.

The entire point of computers is gathering private data and offering ads tho

even simple python scripts are extremely complex for the average worker, and the time required to learn it enough to automate their job is just too much for most people.

To add onto this, a lot of people here have probably been programming for years now, and so they can pick up a new language relatively easy. They're forgetting the stage where they had literally never programmed before. Now think of someone who doesn't even have an interest in technology trying to learn, it will be completely abstract for them.

Nigga, every kid wants to learn to move robots, make games, program music or image whatever, etc

No they don't, they want the computer to do things. They stop caring about programming immediately once someone gives them executable code that does the thing they wanted.

If that was true, why do you think so few of them actually grow up to be those things? The market for those jobs is extremely comfy right now.

You can know nothing about programming and work on video games and robotics, those are incredibly wide fields.

I don't know where you went to school. We learned Matlab in undergrad, I taught myself Fortran, Unix scripting, and latex in grad school. Spent time doing nastran for automotive, then went to other things... only code now for hobby stuff, minor.

Sure they do. Those tasks are traditionally reserved for office staff.

I think most people in STEM with exclusion to medical have to learn some programming to do their job. The mechanical engineers and physics majors at my uni use Matlab. The EEs use Matlab, Verilog and some C. I believe the math majors learn at least one scripting language. I don't remember what as the math dept. is separate from engineering at my uni and of course the CS majors learn a bunch of languages.
