learn to code

"Learn to code" is something that snarky journalists used to tell to actual skilled, blue collar laborers like coal miners. Who, through no fault of their own, ended up losing their jobs due to a certain administration. It was cool, and funny to say that to those people, on Twitter in 2012.
In 2019, when the same snarky journalists get laid off, and their twitter followers tell them to "learn to code" is a malicious, harassing term, that will not be tolerated by Twitter's terms of service and then result be a ban-able offense with zero tolerance.

Learn To Code

A slang term aimed at insulting an individual to pick another career because they suck at their job and life. Something that used to be funny and stopped being funny after members of the media were laid off, at which point it became a baseless racist microaggression.

Why do you work for the National Suicide Prevention Hotline? Learn to code, Karen!
