Now more than ever, there's a whole world that is running on this stuff, and it's amazing to work on your own agency & ability to understand & shape things. The "agents" are all agency amplifiers, in truth. They lack will and direction. For people interested in having will, in defining and shaping things, in having an engaged stance in the world: yes, a thousand times yes, learning to code is amazing. And it's so much more interesting, so much easier to learn with this forever-available knowledgeable peer, and there is so much less pain on path to learning and building, the work flows amazingly forth. From three days ago there was Ask HN: When did computers stop being fun? and I think the question asked there was so telling. The gentleman's stance defined himself into being only a passive boring receiver, of a fixed unchanging world that he was locked in. Computers never were fun on these terms! It was always the openness to possibility, the progressiveness we can feel in our own lives, as we work and shape the world around us, improve the situation for ourselves and those people we are fortunate enough to help in the world. Keep that spark of life alive inside you, be engaged in the world! There's many ways to do that! Coding is such an endlessly rewarding, limitless frontiers way of engaging the world, that you can dive into and explore, at the speed of LLM augmented thought. It's such an excellent worthwhile thing to apply yourself to, will let you keep your mind fed and expanding, seeing and growing forever. Enjoy it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48164173 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48164173
