In 1900, 40% of the population was involved in farming.

Today it's 1%.

Coding is the modern day farming.

We're all going to look back at the idea that we should be teaching kids Python and laugh.

Instead, *everyone* will be able to build stuff using NoCode.

Think about it...

Coding used to be completely inaccessible. You had to use punch cards and feed them into a machine the size of a room.

Today, that has evolved drastically, but it's STILL very inaccessible to the average person.

NoCode will abstract away that complexity.

Instead of learning how to punch jargon into a wall of green text, we should be teaching our kids how to use @webflow, @zapier, @coda_hq, @NotionHQ, @bubble, and other NoCode tools.

I would wager that 40% of them will get into it vs. 5-10% learning traditional coding.

Your brain shouldn't have to "work that way" to learn to code.

Coding should be aesthetic, WYSIWYG, and completely abstract away the complexity in the background.

We aren't quite there yet, but it will be soon...
