Why learning how to code is worth it

  • Learning how to code takes a long time
  • I keep hearing about how chatgpt is going to replace software engineers in the near future
  • Is it worth my time to learn a skill that will possibly be obsolete in the future
  • Understanding that learning how to code is a skill
  • Even without chat gpt what you know today will become obsolete in the future
  • Using chatgpt along side of code is a skill
  • The reason I urge you to learn how to code, even if you dont end up becoming an engineer is two fold
  • First, the most important thing you learn as an engineer is not code, its problem solving
  • Second, you start to cultivate the habit of continuous learning
