Is programming a worthwhile skill to learn for entrepreneurship?

[Guest050x2]

Everyone knows AI is gonna be a big thing. I've heard a lot of people say that AI is going to replace programmers. What do you guys think? Is programming still going to be a good skill to learn. Do you have any ideas for how to prepare yourself to use AI so you can start a AI-based business?

Coding is in a weird place right now.

On one hand, if you want to pursue something in tech, it's still obnoxiously expensive to hire good developers. On the other hand, you can learn how to build it yourself from the ground up, but realistically it would take you 1-2 years to be proficient enough to pull it off. Those 2 years would also be the most painful 2 years of your life. They'd also be the most boring 2 years of your life. No-code solutions are solutions, but they are temporary solutions for the foreseeable future. Until someone comes along and truly breaks this option, it will never be anything more than a temporary solution. The downfalls are too great for any serious production-quality application (in my personal and professional opinion).

AI started replacing bad developers the day ChatGPT dropped. It will continue doing so as time progresses. Personally speaking, I do not believe AI will ever fully replace programmers/humans but it's impossible to tell. I don't believe you can replace or replicate, "human creativity" via AI. That said, "human creativity" at its core functions on a foundation of varying outdated evolutionary systems.

I do love the argument people make of "MACHINES WILL NEED PROGRAMMERS!" This tells me they truly lack a basic comprehension of AI/tech as a whole. Here's the thing: if the AI is intelligent enough to replace you at an advanced level (a truly ADVANCED LEVEL), the AI will be intelligent enough to self-diagnose as well as self-repair. It will not need you. It's rather remarkable to witness machines/AI responding and reacting to internal issues. It's even more remarkable watching AI update and optimize its own code, in real-time, based on the limitations it sees in itself.

In regards to whether or not learning to code is worth it, that's up to you to decide based on your personal goals. Just know that if you do want to learn it, you will need to be 100% committed to stand a chance. Coding will be worth it in regards to landing a solid "foundational job" for the next XX years, but the primary reason to learn to code would be if you're starting a software company, and want/need to save money on developers. The time investment is worth saving yourself 6 figures.

However, if you're in your 20s/30 aiming to retire as a developer that's just starting now, I'd say you're wasting your time.

After only a few hours of research, it's pretty clear that if you're learning to code without using the tools developed over the past 12 - 24 months, it's a complete waste of time. No code, low code, pre-built templates, Github Copilot, all the tools that let someone put up a fully functioning mobile app, web app, whatever and have it scale to infinite users are the ONLY thing to spend time learning. Unless you're planning a career in modernizing existing web apps (and there's a GIANT market worth considering), no one should learn to code the way I did.

Wholeheartedly disagree. Sure, people new to development shouldn't spend 6 months learning HTML and CSS before moving to JavaScript, etc. but at the end of the day, there will be a huge market for skillsets as meaningless as HTML for the foreseeable future. Though I encourage people to take advantage of this now. There are people making 7 figures a year doing nothing more than refactoring lines of HTML and CSS. I'm willing to bet any amount of money these people will be making the same money or more 10 years from now.

Cheers.
