I'm so happy to see this progress in the mainstream's view of programming skill. My dream is that some day coding will be like driving a car: pretty much everyone can do it for their daily needs, and those interested can take it to a professional level. You want to access your banking activity in a certain way? It's not (won't be) a big deal to just write a little code to do it your way. Same thing for lifestyle tracking, photo management, everything changes when everyone has the ability to do things their own personal way.

At the same time we can do our part to make that real. We can start with more novice-friendly frameworks, better documentation for things that already exist, and maybe even more specialized languages that are geared towards casual coders.

programming is the literacy of our generation. like reading and writing was for our grandparents.
