Why would someone want to learn code when AI does it better and faster?

Hacker News - Wed, 06/10/2026 - 4:00pm

I know it sounds like I'm some sort of self-taught "prompt engineer" but actually I spent some time learning to code, and a mistake I made was focusing too much on learning different frameworks and syntax etc etc. But it's impossible to consistently program and only learn syntax and no problem solving. So I learned a bit that too. But it hurt me very bad when I found out, not only AI is better than me in syntax, so it is in problem solving (however I sometimes catch their mistakes, but they're generally better than me). And they are rapidly becoming better. Recently I don't learn as much new stuff about programming and etc. For example, today I used beam search without knowing what it is and how it works, and I know it's something that I'd rarely use again and it and It's obvious that I used AI. Have you seen that meme about someone saying "I made this website in 10 minutes" and then sending a localhost url? It kinda wants to tell us just using AI won't do it. But so if someone knows the very basic, general things, they can perform as good as someone who actually can code well without AI? (I'm not talking about myself, still learning, always will be learning). So I think it looks like the better choice is to just focus on prompting AIs, finding good ideas and things like that and put less time on coding!? (don't judge me, I love coding. Or I did sometime. I sometimes still do). And I know if I'm gonna get discouraged this easily and think of quitting I'd better quit (honestly I don't think like that, but that's the answer you get if you talk of quitting). I don't want to quit. I'm just wondering and I just don't know what to tell to someone if they ask me this. Also I don't know if this is the right place to ask questions and discuss too?
