no one’s gonna manually write code professionally again in a few years time. no need being attached to the past; it’s gradually becoming a relic.
skills come, skills go, humans adapt. the core desire has always been to automate, and have more time to be creative; and over centuries it’s been expressed in different forms. coding is just one expression. 200 years ago it was mechanical computers, 70 years ago assembly, couple years from now (possibly voice).
no need holding so much attachment to one of the expression like it’s always existed since the beginning of time.
i’d rather build competence in systems architecture and design.
