Well, isn’t it? Except we’re at Middle Ages/ early Renaissance rates of computer science and programming literacy. “The future is already here, it’s just not widely distributed yet” and all that.

You can still make tons of money by being a good businessperson and knowing nothing about programming.

I really wouldn't use the term "literacy" for programming-skills.

"Literacy" is not about being at an advantage. It is about having a disadvantage when you don't have it.

I think that's what was meant by "Middle Ages/ early Renaissance" in the comment above. In this time period, literacy was a rare advantage. For instance, in early modern England, literate people were not subject to ordinary criminal courts on a first offense.
