I think the problem is once you're there. You're dealing with compiler issues, library compatibility, shit with AWS you're dealing with everything all the way down to the OS through code and scripts alone. I think a lot of people could grasp the concepts and then get into the actual work and hate it. Personally I love solving puzzles so it's like one big puzzle to me but sometimes it still feels like beating on an old TV to get it to work.

So while I think you could equip them with the right education to know what programming is I think the actual reality of it right now is still pretty crude. But it's always good to think about how to educate people.

Have you played game builder garage for switch? Nintendo has a really interesting high level flow chart type language in it.

Overall these are fine for grasping the concept but programming is no small task and it takes an attention to detail and engineering mindset to be able to actually build with it versus just read it. A lot of people just don't have the patience for it.
