Learning to Code in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, many people wonder whether learning to code is still a valuable skill. With AI tools like ChatGPT and Bard rapidly advancing, is it even necessary to understand programming anymore? The short answer: Yes, but with a new approach. Instead of getting overwhelmed, we should see AI as an assistant rather than a replacement. Here’s how to navigate coding in the AI era effectively.



Why Get Into Coding?

Many individuals feel the need to learn coding at some point—whether for building a website, launching a project, or simply understanding technology better. Fortunately, with the resources available today, learning the basics of coding doesn’t have to take years. In fact, within a month, you can grasp fundamental concepts and move forward. AI has changed the game, making it easier to generate code, troubleshoot errors, and streamline the learning process.

The AI Game Changer

AI isn’t just about writing code—it’s capable of deciphering ancient texts, predicting trends, and automating various tasks. The mistake many make is assuming they need to understand the intricate details of how AI works. This can lead to an endless cycle of learning about neural networks, machine learning models, and mathematical foundations, which may not be necessary for most people. Instead, think of AI as a tool, just like an artist’s pen. The artist doesn’t need to know how the pen is manufactured to create a masterpiece—similarly, you don’t need to understand AI’s inner workings to use it effectively.

Avoiding Information Overload

With so much information available, it’s easy to fall into a rabbit hole of endless learning. Many start with coding but then shift focus to understanding AI itself, leading to a loop of acquiring knowledge without practical application. The key is to stay focused—learn just enough coding to accomplish your goals and use AI as a support system, not a distraction.

How to Use AI Effectively

Rather than worrying about the complexities of AI, focus on mastering the art of asking the right questions. AI thrives on well-structured prompts and clear objectives. It’s not about knowing how AI functions internally, but about leveraging it to enhance productivity and creativity. Just as a queen bee doesn’t need to understand every aspect of her colony to lead effectively, we don’t need to decode AI’s mechanisms to benefit from it.

Final Thoughts

The rise of AI doesn’t mean coding is obsolete—it means we should approach it differently. Think of AI as an enhancement, not a replacement. Learn the basics, use AI to assist, and most importantly, focus on what you want to achieve rather than getting lost in the details of how AI operates. The real power lies in our imagination and ability to adapt.

It's Just a Simulation. A Talk on Computers, Dreams and Threads of Thoughts... Part 1

Image
Have you ever felt like life was just… a game? A vivid dream? A digital illusion? In this post, I’m diving into the idea that reality might be a simulation through the lens of personal experience, computer science, lucid dreaming, and the mysterious nature of consciousness. This isn’t about preaching a theory; it’s about sharing thoughts, patterns, and realizations that connect spiritual concepts with digital systems. Buckle up. Simulations exist to study realities without the real-world consequences—weather forecasts, car crashes, architectural drafts. They’re powerful because they help us test possibilities before fully committing. But what if life, as we know it, is a version of that? You’ve probably heard phrases like “chill, it’s just a simulation” or “life is a game.” It sounds playful, but it implies something deeper—this existence may be transient, flexible, not to be taken so seriously. That idea leads us to look at how our minds process reality, and how computers mirror ...

3 Myths My Mom Told Me That Now Make Sense

Image
When I was young, my mom shared a few myths with me that I dismissed as old-fashioned superstition. But as time passed, I found deeper meaning in them—aligning with science, metaphysics, and even the psychology of our subconscious. Here are three myths that once seemed strange but now make a surprising amount of sense. Walking with Resistance Blocks Abundance One of the first myths my mom told me was not to walk while dragging my feet or in a way that conveyed frustration. She believed that walking with resistance chases away good fortune. At the time, I thought it was just another one of those cultural sayings meant to correct my posture. But now, I see the deeper truth behind it. The book   The Science of Getting Rich   discusses how our mindset and energy shape our reality. Moving through life in a certain way—both mentally and physically—attracts success. When we develop a habit of walking with resistance, it subtly conditions our subconscious into the opposite, a state of...

°Flowers, Patterns & Luck. The Kybalion 4th Principle of Polarity

Image
 There’s something enchanting about noticing a flower when you least expect it. It feels like a whisper from the universe—beautiful, unexpected, maybe even lucky. In this reflection, we dive into how flowers, patterns, and the very concept of luck intertwine, all through the lens of the Kybalion’s 4th Principle: Polarity. Using personal insight, esoteric ideas, and spiritual musings, we’ll explore how synchronicity and structure shape our reality—and why noticing a flower might be more than just a coincidence. Patterns in Poetry and Petals Humans are drawn to patterns. Whether in rhymes or the spirals of a sunflower, there’s something innately satisfying about patterns. Poetry, like nature, follows recognizable forms—think rhyme schemes like AABB or ABAB. And in nature, patterns manifest mathematically, most famously in the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… You’ll find it in flower petals, seed spirals, and leaf arrangements. It’s not just beautiful—it’s efficient. Natur...
