Why Learning to Code Is Becoming More About Building

EDITOR BRIEF

Coding has long been about both creating things and building a career, but generative AI has changed that path. AI now takes over many repetitive beginner tasks, while making it easier to create prototypes from ideas and prompts. The excerpt says the new challenge is understanding code, not just getting code that runs.

INSIGHTS
