Well written. I do disagree though. I was a business programmer for years. I have been in cybersecurity since 2008 (it was the very ill named Information Assurance then) and have never needed to program for my work; most of our about 800 people with cybersecurity designations do not program. For the most part unless someone is specifically in offensive security or some aspects of defensive security that are "hands on" work, they do not need to know how to program in name your flavor Bash, Python, Ruby, Powershell, etc. I do find that the money grab "schools" try to tell people that they need it. Of course none of them teach secure coding and just want the person's money. I mentor people at work and outside. They need to learn IT and then CS theory, concepts, etc. Unfortunately the people that might need to code are very few in numbers. Yes, everyone wants to be an ethical hacker because they think that it sounds cool and sometimes is, but there are definitely very few of those in any organization because it is considered a cost center and does not help the bottom line. We can disagree but will continue to work to help people to understand basic cybersecurity and not recommend coding unless have a job that specifically requires it.
