#183: AI’s silent takeover - are we losing our programming skills?

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the world of coding, raising vital questions about our approach to software development. In this episode, we unpack the implications of AI on programming skills and the future of learning to code. As AI increasingly handles various programming tasks, some developers are concerned that new, and even seasoned, coders may be losing touch with critical programming skills. While AI offers opportunities to streamline processes, we highlight the necessity of engaging with coding on a fundamental level.Throughout the episode, we celebrate successes from our coding community, and highlight that while the journey can be challenging, determination and a positive mindset can ultimately lead to career success.Article discussed: AI is Creating a Generation of Illiterate ProgrammersPybites Circle Community: https://pybites.circle.so/Pybites Community Events: https://pybites.circle.so/c/community-eventsBooks mentioned:Nexus - https://pybitesbooks.com/books/n4rvEAAAQBAJFastAPI Cookbook - https://pybitesbooks.com/books/H6oSEQAAQBAJ___If you found this podcast helpful, please consider following us!For more Pybites:Developer Mindset Newsletter: https://pybit.es/newsletter 💡Bob LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bbelderbos/Julian LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliansequeira/Bob BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/bbelderbos.bsky.socialJulian BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/juliansequeira.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pybites/Twitter: https://x.com/pybitesApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pybites-podcast/id1545551340Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1sJnriPKKVgPIX7UU9PIN1
