I feel like tech is changing very fast now.
Earlier the main skill was Can you write code?
Now its becoming Can you explain clearly what you want to build?
People are spending time and money on AI tools not only for coding anymore. They use AI for -
- debugging
- UI ideas
- writing content
- research
- automation
- documentation
- planning features
- learning new things faster
AI can generate code quickly, but it still needs someone who understands the problem properly.
I dont think programming knowledge is useless now. Understanding logic, systems, security, databases, APIs, and architecture still matters a lot.
But today the developers moving fastest are usually the ones who:
- know the basics well
- think clearly
- ask better questions
- use AI smartly
Feels like working with AI is becoming a real skill itself?
What others think about this shift?
