At that point, UBI will be here. Im chilling

He said this months ago, and you're re-covering it now... PRETTY PRETTY SHOCKING!

More important than learning to code, is learning how to think like a programmer; gives you a whole new perspective on things and can apply to much more than just computer stuff.

I thought my screen was cracked in the beginning during Jensen's interview because of that random line on the left side of the screen

Programming is not only about "knowing how to code" or "knowing Java". I know Java / Kotlin and knowing these I can pretty much jump into ObjC / Swift, I can jum in Cordova, React, Pytho, Ruby. Coding is about problem solving, architecture, understanding client needs and knowing how to convert them into working products and take care of prototyping. AIs will help programmers with prototyping, with easy tasks, with time consuming simple repetitive tasks. Try talking to clients and you'll see they have no idea what they want, they will still need someone with the "math, programmer, problem solving mind" to bring their dreams to reality.

Not to point out the obvious, but knocking out software development jobs with AI is about one of the single most technically challenging tasks AI will accomplish. AI will be able to replace a whole lot of other jobs before that -- lawyers, accountants, para-legals, writers, financial analysts, and so many more. If and when AI gets to the point it can replace software engineers, then there will be no need for any engineers whatsoever. No need for petroleum engineers to help design offshore oil platforms, or civil engineers to help plan cities, or material engineers for construction jobs, or chimical engineers, and so on.

The only people who were criticizing this code were software engineers and developers who are feeling existential dread about the career they’ve worked so hard to go into. Natural language is indeed the future of computing. But in the next coming years there’s gonna be a lot of software engineering needed to get us there. Unless you are an advanced software engineer, you’re just not gonna be hired.

Why don't you like timestamps?

It's not just the end of code. It's the end of software. The end of apps. The end of operating systems and file managment. The end of IT. I have done all those things all my adult life, and they are done. Gone. You all are talking up UBI. You better starting praying. Because eveything else is done.

I intend to always code because coding is very enjoyable and fun. Very similar to music production, another thing I do alot of. AI can do both of these things better than me but I'll keep doing both because I love to do both. Yes, I know this video is more related to JOBS and I have no answer for that problem, I was a coder all my life but have retired.. looks like just in time. My point is that everyone should keep coding because its a great skill that is rewarding outside of career-based life goals and .. learn to bartend.

I learned Latin in school .. and still consider this a thing worth doing! Understanding how sh!t works underneath is never a waste of time!

Learn to code (with ai)

As someone who has no stake in their product and actually is an ai engr — since I already code, make sure to leverage stuff like code cursor and LLMs. If I didn’t code now, I’d dive into prompt engineering as a shadow to someone who codes and is using AI. In five years— better hope you are THE prompt engr that is the translator to “the oracles” (the LLMs). Most people are too new to this to understand a good question gives good answers. I used to swear by garbage in garbage out as a data scientist in automation, but no longer does it matter if you have garbage, you just have to ask better questions. I second what he’s saying here

It's like to declaring that “writing is dead.”

Guys it's time to get real. There is not really anything the human intellect will be able to match when AI really hits in 5 years time. Seriously, what is the average person doing for their 70k a year job that is so difficult that AI won't be doing in 5 years? Oh you talk to customers to work out what they want? AI will do that better in 5 years... probably less!

Google's model are a bit trash at the moment especially when using them on real life tasks and coding. They just have a big context window.

From a business perspective, what Mr. Huang says makes sense, but learning to code comes with the ability to sharpen your math and critical thinking skills, and that's why his comment doesn't win me over.

To be perfectly honest, I'm getting a little tired of these conflicting narratives. "Dont learn to code, coding is dead" and "Demand for software engineers is rising". Apart from that, it almost feel like these Tech billionaires are essentially saying don't bother with learning any skill which can be done by AI in the future because it'll just be us with our money and our AI workforce participating in the economy. The rest of you will be unemployed. Except if you're a plumber or an electrician, then maybe you'll have a slightly longer runway.

I'm using LLMs a lot these days, but why the heck coding would be dead? In many cases natural languages are slower, ambiguous and harder to use than codes, in some cases codes are also useful for comunicating ideas faster, specially with high level programming languages, they are like shortcuts. For example, if you need to calculate some things, why would you spend minutes using voice command instead seconds by just typing the codes?
