Well, I think both point are valid. You should learn to code as you learned to write, to be able to function in a modern society.
And another good reason for learning to code (just like learning to write) is that it'll let you reach a lot of people, and possibly become extremely rich in the process. I guess that second argument is what Jeff Atwood is mostly disagreeing with.
