It’s still worth to learn how to code!

I sometimes get the feeling it’s not worth it anymore because LLMs are getting better and faster everyday but you know what..

If you can code you can certainly enter text in a prompt

If you can only enter text in a promo you can’t solve bugs and issues yourself

It’s only a matter of time when actual knowledge is needed, LLMs are trained on our human work

Fuck those who replace humans for AI for profit

@stux My guess is that coding, regardless of employment prospects, should be decent for learning. It can help learners with accuracy, like Bertrand Russel thought math did for people.. And then the HTDP people talk about a design process for learning Racket that can serve as the core of a liberal arts program... Learning to be in command of your computer can also ease one into the history of math and and how people developed ideas... It should help us to enjoy thinking, not to avoid thinking..
