Hi all,
Recently had an interest in learning code since I get home from school and play league for 5+ hours a day and always regret wasting my free time.
I took advantage of the free Python Mega Course that was shared on this forum a couple days ago and started my coding journey.
Just watching for now and understanding terms (not writing any code yet)
Then will re watch it again and start writing code along with instructor

Anyways I wanted to know.. what is not possible with code? Random question but thought it’d be interesting.
 
Making someone feel happy or sad, hungry or full, etc, cannot be done through computer coding. Likewise over a trillion things cannot be done through computer coding.

Just fucking learn.
 
Synthesize sarcasm.

Sounds dumb but it's actually that A.I. will not be possible to achieve anytime soon.

Ya this is one I figured.

Let me procrastinate in peace :D

AI understanding sarcasm is something i’ve not thought of before.
Crazy to think about
even crazier to wonder if it will ever be achieved?
 
My answer might seem oddly philosophical, but...

Anything that is limited by power available to you. How much money do you have? What are the limitations someone has put, so you can't break their system with infinitely scalable automation? What are the limitations of your manpower? Anything that doesn't fit into your time / money variables cannot be done with code.

Basically, whatever physics don't allow us to, we can't do with code. If someone lacks this knowledge, they'll overestimate what they can do and go bankrupt. Ever heard of those high start-up fail ratios? The philosophy and seeing the big picture is what they lack.

Aka, take some money from government (like donation), put engineers in place and blow it all overnight hoping the product is gonna magically make it!

They thought "code is enough". And that's what happened to them - 90% failure rate.

You cannot do manual work with code. Unless you invent a robot and train it to do the manual work lol.
