This document discusses Code Year, an initiative to make coding more accessible and affordable through $35 Raspberry Pi computers and community events like meetups and hacker spaces. Code Year aims to spark people's interest in coding by making it fun and communal, though questions remain if it will truly work for all and have lasting impact.

- #15: - lots of push back : Jeff Atwood (software developer) Does Mayor of New York need to code? Do we all need to be plumbers? Do we need more code? It’s about SOLUTIONS\n- Rands in Response: learn to write\n- structured thinking: not for everyone\n- coding teaches analytic thinking skills, logic workflows, debugging (Gina Trapini - ThinkUp)\n- Benjamin Stein (mobile commons NY) - Atwood confusing coding with professional software development\n- it can be helpful - if you work closely with tech people and want to communicate\n- define better solutions: Gina Trapini. Explain ideas well so programmers can translate them to code, be able to anticipate changes. (blog Menu and Hours: iPhone app from kick-starter)\n
- #16: - code rots, will this movement?\n- time will tell about enthusiasm\n
