@kunal_twts @iyoushetwt Computers are boxes that understand commands. You make computer do things with those commands. You can also call those commmands how you like. Congratz you created programming language.

@iyoushetwt How did people even create programming languages

How did people even learn coding back when there were no docs or youtube tutorials?

@ScottCywinski @iyoushetwt I have self studied MIT computer science and redid precollege math too and read several other books while making projects I liked and learning different things. Can confidentally say I at least understand 90% what is under this umburella called computers. They are just boxes.

Are posts like these just clickbait? You took classes. You bought books. You practiced and wrote the code yourself. And not for nothing, the image of Zuckerberg is implying that he did not have YouTube or tutorials. The web was already 10 years old by the time Facebook came along. Maybe the more important question is why are you people not reading books or documentation and always relying on YouTube and tutorials?

@ScottCywinski @iyoushetwt Yes they are and this algorithm sucks

@Suparious @iyoushetwt You dont need any of these if you become genuinely good and learn fast

@iyoushetwt We learned from examples, and serverfault/stackoverflow to understand challenges that other people solved. SourceForge and GitHub to see if anyone had already made the thing I want to create already, and I would settle for any code I could manipulate into making said thing.

@nomaantgk @iyoushetwt I read 30 books this year and can confidentally say I havent used AI for 9 months. Stackoverflow, google and Wikipedia is the focus stack.

@iyoushetwt I too have the same question. I'm mostly curious as with those resources we've seen the system builders at level which we don't see these days. Honestly, I have huge respect and I know that we're too distracted to read but still open for recommendations/advise/Must follow habits.

@LeadHead0 @iyoushetwt Books > any tutorial

@iyoushetwt Craziest thing in the world, yeah, books were real. There are coding books, there are cybersecurity books, and there are books on various subjects. If you read books, you learn about them.

@Layton_Gott Not true tard

Unpopular opinion: Spending 2 years learning to code from scratch is a WASTE of time. Not because coding isn't valuable. But because by the time you learn how to manually code AI will be better than basically every human. Every month alone we get some new insane model: (OpenClaw, Perplexity computer, Opus 4.6, Codex 5.4 etc…) Learn the fundamentals from AI such as understand coding architecture and system design. Then let AI handle the coding. The people who win in 3-5 years won't be the best coders. They'll be the smartest system promoters.

@awasnikar01 @TTrimoreau Because there was no motivation to start with

@TTrimoreau running out of motivation usually shows up first, then money just finishes the job

What killed more startups in 2026? Running out of money Running out of motivation 👇

@TTrimoreau Vibe coding. Not reading books. Being retard running after shiny objects. Monetary goals?

@KaiXCreator React lul

Is coding still worth learning in the AI era?

@LVaughan61063 @sahill_og Nobody cares

@sahill_og I can talk with the business partners 80% better than ai can

Backend Developer interview: We can write 80% of our code with AI why should we still hire you. What will be your response?

@Sarcast34746885 @AlfinCodes How you debug is knowing the basics. Some wibecoder I saw claimed fetch is Javascript syntax ahahah.

@AlfinCodes Debugging code has become more valuable skill than writing code along with system design and best security practices.

Developers be honest. Is learning coding still worth it in the AI era?

@AlfinCodes Same as before. After bubble dies we will see who can code.

@aareys1 @ryancarson Read SICP all you need

@ryancarson the mental model is the thing. being able to look at what AI writes and immediately feel when something's off — that only comes from having coded yourself

You still need to know how to code

@robinebers @ryancarson @damoosmann Nocoder spotted

@ryancarson @damoosmann code is literally code people keep saying what you said in your OP and that’s simply not true anymore. be more specific imo

@netocamarano @robinebers @ryancarson @damoosmann Read SICP

@robinebers @ryancarson @damoosmann Exactly. Code is code. Maybe programming open some margins for some interpretation… But you don’t need to know code anymore, programming logic? Yes

@Modafalla @ryancarson If you need elaboration you ngm sorry

@ryancarson Could you elaborate? Coding is learning lots of things, what should we learn if the goal is AI?

@N_and_ni There is program that creates fake commits for you for past

@antononone Means ?

I keep wondering… what if I had started GitHub last year 😭 Now when everyone’s getting laid off, I’m just creating my account… am I cooked?

@TyroneMay @hiarun02 Care to elaborate?

@hiarun02 You should be building Agents or Agentic Frameworks, that's the future.

> Every idea feels taken. > Every API already exists. > Every SaaS has 12 competitors. So what do we build now?

@Fuionicc @hiarun02 Exactly. If you read SICP you learn thisz

@hiarun02 It was never about you building something new out of box; but let people experience the process in more convinent way.
