Interesting thoughts on the value of learning to code — when in practice we rely more and more on AI for it. This article explores whether learning to code is still necessary in the age of AI. Drawing on survey responses, teaching experience, and personal reflection, it examines how AI coding assistants are changing software development, the skills future technologists will need, and the importance of maintaining technical understanding in an increasingly automated world. The Question: Should We Still Learn to Code in the Age of AI?, by Sue Black. I agree with where the author landed here. Coding improves your thinking and it teaches you a lot about system behavior and how to shape it. That is valuable in shaping your intuition for productively working with AI in software engineering.
