祝自己节日快乐：）

今天，1024，传说中的「程序员节」，就祝自己节日快乐吧：）

为什么是1024呢，因为1024=2¹⁰，程序员最熟悉的二进制啦。顺便插一句，世界上有10种人，一种懂二进制，另一种不懂。

借（cèng）此（gè）机（rè）会（diǎn），我们来看看《福布斯》（Forbes）商业杂志这篇文章，每个人都要学编程吗？看看技术专家们怎么说。

Not Everyone Should Code (from: PolyMatter)

Should Everyone Learn To Code? Tech Pros Weigh In On Why Or Why Not

Forbes

Today’s world is growing more and more tech-driven. For example, coding is becoming a must-know for professionals in the technology industry, among others. Because of this, many new workers—whether their role is IT-related or not—are wondering if they should take the time to learn how to code.

We posed this question to the members of Forbes Technology Council. Below, they explained their position, along with how to navigate and get ahead of a tech-inclined world.

1. Coding In The Classroom Can Close The Tech Knowledge Gap

Yes, because coding will be learning a naturally spoken language, and everyone should know at least the fundamentals. We need to start the training in the public school systems so that everyone has an equal opportunity to pick up a technology language. IT experts should encourage those in the workforce to take training in learning the fundamentals of coding as well. - Abhinav Somani, Leverton

2. Tech Jobs Involve More Than Coding

Coding is a valuable skill for anyone working in tech. However, there are many roles in tech that do not require coding. These include roles in marketing, product management or project management. What's important is not just learning to code, but rather having a deep interest in technology and how it can be applied to solve problems. - Andre Yee, Triblio

3. Knowing Just A Little Can Help You Get Ahead A Lot

Coding can create amazing opportunities in your life. And you don’t have to become an expert developer to make a dent in the world. Learning just a little bit of programming opens a new world up. You can speak with software engineers in a language they can understand. This lets you explore valuable opportunities like becoming a product manager, UX designer or leader of your own tech startup. - Marc Fischer, Dogtown Media LLC

4. Professionals Should Constantly Evolve With Technology

Everyone in the technology field should learn to code. Technology is constantly evolving, and the roles that were once less development-focused are now requiring development skills. Help desk evolved into system operator, then evolved into system admin and then became SRE/system engineer, which requires some development efforts. In order to keep up with the industry, you should learn to write code. - Anthony Caiafa, SS&C Technologies, INC

5. Employees Should Know How To Leverage Data For Decisions

It's not essential for everyone to know how to code, but businesses need to help their employees incorporate data in their decision-making. This is partly about having the right tools, but it's also about ingraining a culture in which data truly informs decisions, versus cherry-picking data to support a hunch. Share examples of good data usage widely in the company to help build this culture. - Sudheesh Nair, ThoughtSpot

6. We Need More Than Computer Science Majors

Being part of tech no longer requires a desk in the IT department. Every business in every industry now relies on tech resources and support in ways that require the expertise of professionals in other disciplines. IT leaders can make tech more exciting to people from all backgrounds by emphasizing how tech has played a leading role in every human advancement from moon landings to saving lives. - Anna Frazzetto, Harvey Nash

4. Professionals Should Constantly Evolve With Technology 专业人员应随着技术的发展而不断进步

Everyone in the technology field should learn to code. Technology is constantly evolving, and the roles that were once less development-focused are now requiring development skills. Help desk evolved into system operator, then evolved into system admin and then became SRE/system engineer, which requires some development efforts. In order to keep up with the industry, you should learn to write code. - Anthony Caiafa, SS&C Technologies, INC

每个技术领域的人都应该学习编程。技术是不断发展的，以前不那么注重开发的职业，现在都需要开发能力。帮助台（help desk）演变成系统操作员，再演变成系统管理员，再演变成网站可靠性工程师/系统工程师，这都需要一定的开发工作。为了跟上行业的发展，你应该学会写代码。- Marc Fischer, Dogtown Media LLC

5. Employees Should Know How To Leverage Data For Decisions 员工应该知道如何利用数据进行决策

It's not essential for everyone to know how to code, but businesses need to help their employees incorporate data in their decision-making. This is partly about having the right tools, but it's also about ingraining a culture in which data truly informs decisions, versus cherry-picking data to support a hunch. Share examples of good data usage widely in the company to help build this culture. - Sudheesh Nair, ThoughtSpot

并非每个人都必须懂得如何编程，但企业需要帮助员工将数据纳入决策中。这在一定程度上与拥有正确的工具有关，也与根植某种文化有关，在这种文化中，数据真正为决策提供信息，而不是为了支持直觉而筛选出最好的数据。在公司中广泛分享良好数据使用的例子，以帮助建立这种文化。- Sudheesh Nair，ThoughtSpot

incorporate

🎬电影《草叶》（Leaves of Grass）中的台词提到：We've been wanting to incorporate more philosophy into the curriculum. 我们一直很想在课程中增加更多的哲学课程。

ingrain...in...

表示“使…深深印在脑中；使根深蒂固”，英文解释为“to establish something such as a belief so firmly that it is not likely to change”举个🌰：

We want to ingrain good financial habits in people.

我们想让人们脑中有很强的理财好习惯。

versus /ˈvɜːsəs/

经常看到缩写vs，vs.或者是单单一个v，就是指的versus，表示“（比较两种不同想法、选择等）与…相对，与…相比”，英文解释为“used to compare two different ideas, choices, etc.”如：private education versus state education 私立教育与公共教育相比，举个🌰：

It is France versus Brazil in the final.

决赛是法国队对巴西队。

6. We Need More Than Computer Science Majors 我们需要的不仅仅是计算机科学专业的学生

Being part of tech no longer requires a desk in the IT department. Every business in every industry now relies on tech resources and support in ways that require the expertise of professionals in other disciplines. IT leaders can make tech more exciting to people from all backgrounds by emphasizing how tech has played a leading role in every human advancement from moon landings to saving lives. - Anna Frazzetto, Harvey Nash

掌握部分技术，并不意味着需要在IT部门留一个工位。现在，每个行业的每个企业都依赖于技术资源和支持，而这些资源和支持需要其他学科的专业人员的专业知识。IT领导者可以通过强调科技如何在从登月到拯救生命的每一次人类进步中发挥了主导作用，让来自各种背景的人对科技更加感兴趣。- Anna Frazzetto，Harvey Nash
