theodp writes “New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has announced his intention to take a coding class in 2012 via Twitter (‘My New Year’s resolution is to learn to code with Codecademy in 2012! Join me.’). So, is this just a PR coup for Codeacademy, or could EE grad (Johns Hopkins, ’64) Bloomberg — who parlayed the $10 million severance he received after being fired as head of systems development at Solomon Brothers into his $19.5 billion Bloomberg L.P. fortune — actually not know how to program? Seems unlikely, but if so, perhaps Bloomberg should just apply to be a Bloomberg Summer 2012 Software Development intern — smart money says he’d get the gig!”
