Why We Should Stop Teaching Coding
Pilots don’t learn how to build engines before they can fly. So why are so many non-computer students being pushed to learn to code? If soaring with analytics is the goal, there’s a better way.
Let’s talk about:
The history of how data and analytics have changed the world.
Analytics culture and literacy.
How analytics can help society.
Tools that democratize analytics for all and make it less scary.
How entrepreneurs use analytics
Case studies about the effective use of analytics.
This is learning to fly with analytics, not learning how the gearbox works.
This article was inspired by Maggie O’Neil from ThoughtSpot and her article, Technology, Culture, and Why MBAs Should Stop Learning to Code. Thanks!
