No fix for GPS map bug?  So sad

At the core of learning to code is breaking down processes, or problems, into many steps, each of which can be addressed with a particular set of instructions, or "solutions."  Using the available commands to then construct the proper instruction set is a bit like using words to write a story.  However, the content is very pragmatic and hopefully aimed at efficiency and elegance of execution.
Learning such things can only have a positive impact on the way the student learns to think, and thus I agree with Tim Cook that all should have coding instruction.  However, I do not think that every high school graduate needs to be proficient in C or Assembly or whatever programming language.  It is the concepts.  Just like those of us who studied math in high school did not graduate as mathematicians, but the concepts are important, and the development of the relevant parts of the brain are important.
As our world "computerizes" those that understand coding and computers will have better job opportunities even though not all of these jobs will be actual coding jobs.
