Are kids too young to learn coding?

Very interesting question that was widely asked and EdTech were criticised for asking kids to learn and pick up coding. I see this question is an interesting for any form of learning until a norm is formed or policy makes it optional to mandatory. I had this question is it necessary during course of engineering studies, why programming language for a non-computer science students? So far, I did a little bit of coding for education and nothing at work. Does it mean coding wasn’t required? or Coding isn’t about writing lines of code but skills one would develop. I realised the traditional approach of syllabus versus teaching that is often aimed at examination point of view missed the really essence of learning coding. I have done a bit to explore various views on coding. What do you think?

Would appreciate your thoughts on my tedx talk ‘The negative part of kids coding’ – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp72J0bywAI&t=11s
