Would it be funny if we told the laid off Twitter staff to “learn to code”?

For those out of the loop:

1. Laid off coal miners were told by journalists to learn to code
2. When a large amount of journalists lost their job they were mockingly told by reddiors to learn to code
3. Twitter intervened by banning/ blocking such comments creating a double standard where it is OK to say to a coal miner lrean to code but not to a journalist.
