Learn how to code bro

Advertise on BHW
A friend of mine decided to quit marketing and is now attending a school for electricians, with his theory being that that's the only trade that needs human input. Every little thing needs electricity.

I was laughing at him three years ago, he's finishing his school this year and I saw his plans for the future, and I can't say I'm not jealous a bit. Sitting in front of the computer till the end of my days doesn't look that appetising.
 
My childhood dream was to survive on a deserted island with all the elements of survival. But is there any place like that now that has not been inhabited by humans?
This society is so chaotic, recently it has even made me mentally prepare for WW3.

Idk, I'm living on an island and visiting another 1-2 times a year and hell, there are people everywhere.

Huh, I thought that the "learn to code" advice was from 2000! ;)

If for nothing, learn how to code just to automate boring stuffs. It should be an evergreen advice (even with the advent of AI).
 
Its funny i'm seeing this thread now.

I'm in the past. Good to know what is waiting in the future.

Year 2000, we are coming!
 
I can definitely relate to this, I used to regret not sitting my ass down and learn to code, I'm now grateful I didn't waste my time, I'll suck at it anyways, and will end up average & won't have a slight chance to compete with AI.
 
I still wish I had started coding earlier and I don't think it's a worthless skill now.

But some of the people who are not suited to coding and who barely got by at it, now they are toast and that's a large enough swath of the "professionals". For them, this joke holds 100%.

On the other hand, I'm absolutely ready for the survival in the nature game as I'm an avid mountainbiker. All I need is to find the energy gel trees and the caves where all the parts that wear quicker than ice-cream left in the sun grow naturally and I'm going to be golden! I bet I can survive a full week or somethin! :D

Also I managed to grow like 6 or 7 cucumbers in my back yard last summer! :P Nature boy am I!
 
I learned to code. It took me years. I don't work as a coder. This is only useful to replicate things on my computer (automation) and that's the exact reason I learned to code. People asked me many times if I want to work for them. I tried, it sucked. Commercial coding is not for me. I only deem coding as a necessary computer skill for those who want to be efficient.
 
This boring robotic soulless job was never suitable for human nature anyway. I am glad it is dying. Even in 2006, I knew coding to some extent. And made good money with it in the past. It's the business and marketing side that brings actual money. I could never work for companies, coding all day.

Coding has been with us only for 70 years. That's nothing. Imagine what today's coding will be seen as in 30 - 70 years. :D

After all this time, it seems they will be programming us... Although this is already happening today, if you look at the world.

That "2030: learn how to survive in the woods" line is part joke, part commentary.

It plays on how advice about "the future" keeps shifting:

In 2020, coding was hyped as the ultimate career skill.

By 2025, practical trades like plumbing started getting more attention because they can’t be easily automated or outsourced.

By 2030, the exaggeration is that society might decline so much (due to climate change, economic collapse, resource shortages, or even tech overreach) that the most valuable skill won’t be coding or plumbing, but literal survival, knowing how to find food, build shelter, make fire, and live off the land.

So the "woods" part isn’t literal for everyone, but a metaphor for self-sufficiency if modern systems fail.

Basically: it’s a darkly funny way of saying “things might get so bad you’ll need survival skills, not jobs.”
