There are few jobs I can think of where learning a TINY little bit of coding could help as much as when you're Mayor of New York (or a major CEO, etc). If the guy figures out nothing else than that he can make a program to keep tally counts as he discards emails, he just has to click which category they belong to, or that he can send form letters programmatically, he will be far more productive. Yes, aides do both of these things, but with code you don't have to communicate what you want someone to do, you can just do it and tweak it until it's most helpful for you - when you're the one in total control you are just so much more productive.
I basically completely disagree with this submission.
