Comment on How "Learn to Code" Backfired on a Whole Generation

I prefer the autism, because at least I don’t need to babysit them and double-check all of their work. With the autists, at least you can reliably know “if I give them {A}, I’ll get {B} in return. Not {C}, not {D}, always {B}.” I don’t mind teaching. It’s inevitable in any job. But working with personality hires always ends up being an exercise in patience, because there’s only so many times I can show someone how to do something.
