Here's what Co-Pilot (AI) said on this matter in response to my question about something Nvidia CEO Jenson Huang said the other day:

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has indeed made a bold statement regarding the future of coding. During the World Government Summit in Dubai, he argued that due to rapid advancements in AI, learning to code should no longer be a top priority for those entering the tech sector. Here’s what he said:
“It is our job to create computing technology such that nobody has to program. And that the programming language is human, everybody in the world is now a programmer. This is the miracle of artificial intelligence.”
Huang believes that generative AI and natural language processing will revolutionize coding. Instead of spending countless hours mastering specific coding languages, young professionals should focus on expertise in other fields like farming, biology, manufacturing, and education. While coding won’t disappear entirely, upskilling to understand when and how to use AI programming will be essential.
In the future, native language might be the only language needed for coding12. So, while the coding landscape evolves, it’s essential to adapt and embrace these changes! 🌐🤖

AI is only as good as the user driving it. When seeking an answer from a Google search, it often takes many variations of the search terms to get a hit on what you really want. The same applies to driving an AI coding tool. I already have good skills in math, physics, chemistry, biology, electronics and computer science. New languages, operating systems and hardware to host them are constantly evolving. The world has 45 years of systems that encompass a broad range of evolving technology. Sometimes the modern world pines of access to the functionality of times past, but implemented on current languages, operating systems and hardware. That keeps a pretty steady paycheck for me. I'm reaching the point where retirement looks attractive. Perhaps AI can back-fill my vacancy.
