Its a good litmus test for people who are genuinely interested versus people who just heard "Lern 2 Kode" from a hustler on YouTube and thought they could bullshit their way through it.

But also, you'll notice the cartoon character getting handed a nice looking laptop and keyboard. How cool is that? A cartoonist handing you a few hundred dollars worth of hardware plus presumably an always-on internet connection. Imagine if everyone had those kinds of resources just tossed to them at the asking.

But they aren't asking for tools they're asking for guidance. What's the point of all that expensive hardware if they have no clue what to do with it and where to start learning?

I mean, if you straight up don't know how to use a computer at all then that's fair. But I don't think the suggestion is that you learn how to code before you learn how to work a mouse. Hell, the whole target audience for the joke is people who are already online.
