This is the text of a talk I gave at the Digital Pedagogy Institute last year at University of Toronto, Scarborough. There has been a lot of discussion around the question of library workers learning to code, and this was my attempt to set out my thoughts on the subject. I realize that the term “coding” is ambiguous and arguable, but I hope this text lays out a particular way of approaching the question.
