Some people keep saying not to learn to code on the grounds that AI would automate it. We will look back on that as some of the worst career advice ever given. AI will make software development easier, just like the compiler did. Or open source. Or the cloud....

Andrew Ng, co-founder of Google Brain and Coursera, on the worst career advice being given about AI right now: He doesn't mince words about what he's hearing from supposed experts: "As early as earlier this year and certainly last year, there are a few people advising others to stop learning to write code because AI will automate it." His reasoning is rooted in a historical pattern most people miss: "As something becomes easier, more people should do it, not fewer. When the world moved from assembly language to COBOL, there were actually articles saying, 'Well, we now have COBOL. Programming is so easier. Looks like we don't need programmers anymore.' But the opposite happened." Andrew believes the same thing is happening now with AI-assisted coding: "As we now have AI assisted coding, a lot more people should be coding. And I think the demand for software, custom software, has no practical ceiling. So the cost of software engineering comes down, which it is, we'll just get more and more great software out in the world." But here's where the advice gets uncomfortable for experienced engineers. Andrew Ng is honest about what he's seeing on the ground: "It is true that a fresh college grad that is really on top of AI will outperform a full stack engineer with 10 years of experience that is still doing things they were back in 2022, 3 years ago before GenAI." However, there's a nuance most people miss when they hear that stereotype: "The other piece that is less well appreciated is the best engineers I know are not fresh college grads. They're actually very experienced engineers that deeply understand architecture and the conceptual framework of how to think about computers and additionally are on top of AI and on top of these AI skills."

.Naval: The easiest way to see that AI is not taking jobs but creating opportunities is to go learn AI and then reapply for the job that rejected you. Watch how they pull you in. “My last startup, Airchat, could not have existed without AI because we needed the transcription/translation. And even the current thing I’m working on—it’s not an AI company, but it cannot exist without AI. It is relying on AI. Even at AngelList, we’re significantly adopting AI. Like everywhere you turn, it’s more opportunity, more opportunity, more opportunity. And people like to go on Twitter—or the artist formerly known as Twitter—and basically, they like to exaggerate. Like, ‘Oh my God, we’ve hit AGI.’ ‘Oh my God, I just replaced all my mid-level engineers.’ ‘Oh my God, I’ve stopped hiring.’ To me, that’s moronic. The two valid perspectives are the one-man entrepreneur shows, where there’s one guy or one gal, and they’re scaling up like crazy thanks to AI. Or there are people who are embracing AI and being like, ‘I need to hire, and I need to hire anyone who can even spell ‘AI’—anyone who’s even used AI. Just come on in, come on in.’ Again, I would say the easiest way to see that AI is not taking jobs but creating opportunities is this: go brush up on your AI, learn a little bit, watch a few videos, use the AI, tinker with it, and then go reapply for that job that rejected you. Watch how they pull you in.”

Some personal hot takes from AI: engineer Miami follows... 1. Software development is a dead-end profession because anyone can be a software developer now. 2. Anyone can use Cursor or any other tool and generate code. Being a coder and being a software engineer are different. 3. Computers used to be gated; now everyone has the power to make computers malleable. Everyone is a software developer now, but that does not mean they are software engineers 4. If you cannot demonstrate how a coding agent works, you are just a consumer and have imposed an artificial glass ceiling on your career as a software engineer. 5. If you are curious, you will have a job. If you have not been curious in the last two years, you are replaceable. 6. SaaS per-seat economics may become unstable as customers need fewer people to achieve results, prompting founders to think about new unit economics 7. Most companies will take two or three years (or more!) to figure out AI transformation. 8. Some companies are already building AI native teams of five to ten people who can build with the grain of AI 9. There will be an explosion in the number of software developers. Software development is now essentially free, and tokens are cheaper than humans 10. Not enough engineers know what it means to be a product engineer 11. JIRA ticket monkeys are cooked 12. If your company has banned AI, you should quit that company 13. AI is more like a musical instrument than just a tool play with it, make discoveries, build intuition learn where AI is good and where it fails
