I'm all for people learning to program so they can build something they're excited about, but this seems disingenuous. For most people it'll take months or more to go from zero coding experience to building an MVP of their 'killer app' idea. Posts like this make it sound like it's just working through a checklist.

If someone's not excited about the actual process of learning to code, a)they'll probably get discouraged quickly and b)there's probably a more efficient way for them to get a prototype of their app than learning to code from scratch.
