Should anyone bother learning code from scratch now that AI can do it better, faster and free?

no
no, ChatGPT already writes perfect C code, Rust trannies should just halt their development too.
it doesn't write perfect code in any language. its actually quite lazy and only does the bare minimum. if you ask it to write something it will but it will leave out things like error handling because apparently that isn't important lol.
cope code monkey, it writes fizzbuzz perfectly
No it doesn't. If it were making a human body it would put the veins down but nothing else.
first time I've seen someone call someone else's life "development" but I agree
Until we get easy access to the hyper mega big dick context length, you need to know how to code to do any real work.
One off batch/python scripts have been completely automated though.

This. And you can glue a lot of shit together and get a working program.
I'm doing it right now with Golang. I've actually been wondering if someone will invent a programming language for AI.
Like imagine opcodes but for functions, just an impossibly frickhuge tome of discrete modules of immutable code (so no way to frick it up) that you lego together to form a program.
I mean the high level language landscape is already this way to a degree but I'm talking to the nth degree, to leverage AI's ability to have very broad but very shallow "knowledge" (statistical inference linked nodes).
no, industry's full. frick off
>do it better
Not really.
If you already like coding and want to do it professionally, then go ahead.
But then you wouldn't be asking this question.
If you're a zoomie frat bro just looking to do something that makes money, you will get filtered and come back here in 6 months, coping, seething and quite possibly dilating.
I've seen so many people get on the l2c meme only to smash face first into a reality check.
>better
if it was better it wouldn't take me an hours to write a simple web page
>faster
true
>free
how is it free? you need good hardware and a lot of power to run AI programs
>now that AI can do it better
SAAAAR
we've been talking this way about human obsolescence for decades now. meanwhile China just built a shitton of factories for people to do work in and they're doing really well. somehow our approach of messianism and blackpilling isn't having the same success
No, it's actually over. At work everyone is just sitting there, staring at black screens. There's literally nothing to do. Just the other day I saw one of the senior engineers pushing around a tray and picking up garbage. I asked what he was doing, turns out he saw the sinking ship and switched careers. He's now the janitor. It's THAT bad.
based. I bet he doesn't have to sit through daily standups, answer to a project manager how the cleaning is going, be woken up 3 am because a toilet is clogged or clean the corridor while upside down and with the mop up his butthole because a client asked it to be done that way
yep. to be honest I'm kinda jealous
While AI code generation is impressive, learning to code from scratch remains valuable. Here's why:
- Problem-Solving Skills: Coding fosters logical and algorithmic thinking, essential for solving complex problems. Understanding how to break down challenges is a valuable skill beyond programming.
- Creativity and Innovation: Coding involves creativity in designing unique solutions. Human programmers bring innovative ideas that AI may lack.
- Customization: AI-generated code may not always fit specific requirements. Learning to code allows customization and control over the solution.
- Fundamentals: Learning programming fundamentals, data structures, and algorithms is crucial for writing efficient, scalable, and maintainable code. Relying solely on AI can lead to issues with code quality.
- Career Opportunities: Coding skills are in high demand. Employers seek individuals with strong programming foundations. Learning to code opens doors to various career paths, including software development and data analytics.
- Adaptability: Technology evolves rapidly. Learning to code from scratch enables individuals to adapt to new programming languages, frameworks, and tools more easily, understanding underlying concepts.
- Collaboration: Coding is often a team effort. Learning to code develops collaboration and communication skills vital for successful team projects and effective teamwork.
In conclusion, AI should be viewed as a tool to enhance human potential. Combining AI-powered tools with human expertise can lead to innovative solutions. Learning to code from scratch provides a strong foundation, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and adaptability, opening numerous career opportunities.
