Should you still learn coding even if AI automates it all in the next decade? Absolutely. Think about it, people still learned C even if they never built anything with it. Why? Because it gave them a deep understanding of computers, how they think, how they process data, how memory works. Without that foundation, the code AI spits out will just feel like magic. You won’t know if it’s right, if it’s efficient, or even how to fix it when it breaks.

In fact, this might be the best time to learn computer science. If you know what you’re doing, you could soon be running hundreds of AI agents, automating work exactly how you want. You’ll be the one calling the shots, not just relying on whatever AI gives you. With the right skills, you could outcompete entire companies—right from your own room. And if you’re paying attention, you already know this is coming.

I’ll just run an agent that automates running agents! Megabrain level idea

i think the next decade is going to be very interesting, not just for computer science, but for business and other forms of engineering.

i don’t think many people truly realize that these models/agents might make the entire concept of a workforce irrelevant, especially in technical fields.

someone with a deeper understanding, who can be more specific with these models, might outcompete 100% of casual workers alone. people & companies are not ready for it.

💯 it’s kind of hard to imagine what’s going to happen. You see some early writing on the wall but we’re in super early stages. Sooner or later these tools will be so easy to use anyone will just click a few buttons and spin up all sorts of things. A bit scary, a bit exciting, a lot of uncertainty ahead.

when humans stop coding is when machines fully take over
