In my opinion, however, this is not a dying species. On the contrary, I believe that unicorns will become more common in the future – not necessarily many, but more. For a few years now, there have been discussions about making computer science a compulsory subject at school. This can’t happen fast enough because solid media skills are more important than ever for our digital future. In addition, it is becoming increasingly easy to get started in computer science. Programming languages have evolved and are becoming easier to learn. There is also an evergrowing number of learning opportunities, many of them free of charge. And finally, computer science is slowly but surely losing its nerdy image.
