Asked by CuriousCoder87
I'm in high school and really enjoy working with computers, but I haven't learned any coding languages yet. I've tried a few times, but I find it hard to remember all the different concepts and syntax. With the rise of AI, I'm starting to wonder if learning to code is even worth it anymore, but I'd love to hear your opinions on this. Thanks!

Learning to code remains important, especially since AI might generate code, but you still need to understand what it's doing. Competence in coding will allow you to manage AI-generated output effectively.

As a senior developer, I can tell you that despite the rise of AI tools, they can't fully replace the need for skilled developers. They have their use, but there's still a long way to go before they can handle everything a human dev can.

Absolutely, coding is still worth it! If you enjoy it, definitely pursue it. Relying solely on financial gain won't keep you motivated over time. I've seen this sentiment stay strong for years, and AI won’t change that.

While AI is changing the landscape, it's essential to adapt. The fundamentals of coding will always be vital, even if companies lean towards AI solutions. Full-stack roles are evolving, but cloud engineering seems like a consistent path.
