Today I read this message:
Instagram has just added the ability to write comments with AI.

A similar option LinkedIn has (it offers pre-written recommended comments like "Congratulations")

With all the excitement and hype around AI coding, there's a thought that bothers me.

AI makes mistakes. A lot. Some goes into production.

For years, "learn to code" was a golden rule for career growth. But with AI assistants writing entire functions, debugging code, and even generating full applications, is traditional coding knowledge still essential?

Will the future of development be prompt engineering rather than coding?

Will AI make deep knowledge of algorithms and system design more important, while reducing the need for syntax memorization?

If AI does the coding, what skills will become most valuable for future developers?

With AI agents and assistants are becoming more advanced, we're seeing them handle everything from scheduling meetings to managing entire workflows.

But here s the big question would you fully trust an AI to run tasks autonomously, or would you prefer keeping an eye on things just in case?

Lately I realise that I use AI to automate stuff etc, but when it comes to growing products that I built or my social presence, it does not help me much.

Like, there are probably a BILLION tools for AI-powered content creation and blah blah blah, but they haven't really helped me generate any meaningful content. So, I always end up writing the stuff I want myself, cause they are just better than the AI tools create.
