A producer from the Netherlands requests a title change to "Baron No" and shares a story about his daughter redirecting her career away from an "uber-woke" London university. This triggers a discussion on the "learn to code" trope, with the hosts arguing that not everyone is suited for programming and that the push for everyone to code is unrealistic.

- **Published:** 2019-12-05

The hosts advocate for teaching children the basics of computer hardware and open-source operating systems like Linux rather than just "learning to code." They suggest that building a computer using a Raspberry Pi is a superior educational tool compared to the "shackled" environments of Windows 10 or Chrome OS.

### Media Layoffs, BuzzFeed and Vice Financial Struggles

- **Episode:** [1109: Pentacon](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1109-pentacon.md)
- **Published:** 2019-02-05

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1109-pentacon/chapter/media-layoffs-buzzfeed-and-vice-financial-struggles.md

Significant layoffs at BuzzFeed, Vice, and HuffPo are linked to the expiration of government subsidies for "new media" aimed at countering foreign propaganda. The "learn to code" meme emerged as a sarcastic response to journalists who previously gave similar advice to displaced blue-collar workers. Data reveals that BuzzFeed's primary traffic driver is personality quizzes rather than traditional news reporting.
