But we’re on the precipice of a new era when learning to develop software will be easier than ever, opening the door to students who might not otherwise have chosen to study computing. Perhaps a new golden age of CS education has only just begun.

It is good to have those students. They can fill roles in sales and customer relations and be the link to the actual software. These students won't be writing too much software besides some small, internal tools.
