How do you feel about coding as the movement du jour in K-12 education? Do you think it'll be effective in getting more people interested in STEM, or is the heavy coding push in schools less effective than advertised?

Coding is excellent because it emphasizes the ability to identify a problem, break it down into smaller chunks, and use critical thinking and trial and error to make parts of a whole. (That, and the fact that spelling, punctuation and capitalization actually do count - hello, syntax errors.)

For me, I think it's a brilliant thing for kids to learn, and that's regardless of it being a stepping stone to STEM. Anyone can get something out of learning to code.

What's a whiskey you particularly wished people knew more about, or one that's frequently underrated?
