Rethinking Skills in the AI Era: Is Coding Still Worth It??
Rethinking Skills in the AI Era: Is Coding Still Worth It?
Amjad Masad, CEO of Replit, recently dropped a thought-provoking bombshell: "I no longer think you should learn to code." After years of championing coding through open-source projects, Codecademy, and Replit, Masad now believes AI is rendering traditional coding skills obsolete. With tech giants like Google (25% of new code AI-generated) and predictions from Anthropic's Dario Amodei (90% of code AI-written within months), the shift is hard to ignore.

But here's the kicker—Masad isn't saying to abandon tech altogether. Instead, he urges us to focus on how to think, break down problems, and communicate clearly—skills that remain human-centric even in an AI-driven world. It's a bittersweet pivot for someone who's spent decades democratizing coding, yet it sparks a vital question: Are we preparing for the right future?
