Who can code?

[Jason]

What can you code? When, where, and how did you learn? What were obstacles and how did you overcome them?

Myself, I took coding in community college. It was in the 2000s. I took C++, C #, Visual Basic.net, and Java. It was challenging and interesting. One obstacle was remote learning.

I can't be able to code yet, but it's just one of the skills that I should be considering in the future. Believe me, learning it would be very good for my type of business as well.

I can't but this is something I am looking forward to learn

I know how to code, but with the rise of AI the value of programmers is decreasing.

I know how to code, but with the rise of AI the value of programmers is decreasing.

As of early 2026, the value of traditional syntax-only coding is decreasing, however, the value of experienced software engineers who can leverage AI is actually holding steady or increasing. AI has depressed wages for entry-level roles, with lowering demand for junior coders by 55% at major firms, and driving massive compensation packages for those with specialize in AI, machine learning and architecture expertise.


The value of programmers who understand system designs, and can use AI to build faster, rather than code by hand, tend to earn more money than those that don't through out all the industry jobs.

The playing field has shifted with AI in the field, especially in regards to top-level companies.

I think that as AI becomes capable of generating almost any code, the traditional role of programmers will diminish significantly. That said, having coding knowledge will still be valuable, especially for making manual adjustments or handling small tweaks when needed.

AI can already accelerate development dramatically, enabling projects that would normally take months of human effort to be completed in a fraction of the time.

Me too. I can't code to even save my dear life but I strongly which to acquire the knowledge.

 

[Alisa]

I don’t know how to code, never tried to learn.
