alt Hacker NewsThe full quote (in response to: should people learn programming) is "In a year or two it's not gonna matter, coding is largely solved".
Which is still quite the statement, and damn the video is intolerable. But the full quote still feels a little different than how you put it here.
How so? If coding is largely solved and we are on the cusp of not even needing to learn to code, then the statement that they use electron because it’s what most of their engineers are familiar with seems a little contradictory.
