Discussion on: When should children start learning to code?

I think children should start learning to code when they awake the interest (or even desire) to make any kind of software. For example, children love videogames but not all of them will say "I want to make a videogame like that". So, when a child says "I want to make a game" (or some particular software), the first sign appears.

Also, consider the fact that the kid needs to have some age in order to speak, get some kind of common sense and the developed idea of wanting to make a game/software. I wanted to make games when I was 5 and played with the computer we had at home back then.
