Is it too late to learn coding now?

It's the best time EVER to learn coding, once you understand the basics and you're skilled enough to use these AI tools that everyone is afraid of, you'll be able to become 10 times more productive.

AI is good, but not THAT good, it can't code complicated things, for example an entire flask app.

Can anyone tell me some good resources besides YouTube for some coding from home? Would appreciate it immensely
 
Age is never an issue as long as you have the passion to do it. The more experience you have in life, the more chances for you to become successful in any field. General experience and problem handling skills help you cross 70% of the bridge. :) avoid the naysayers, keep doing what you do
 
AI can not be able to compete the creativity of a human mind. AI itself developed by Human.
 
You need to start now.
 
I would def reconsider if you are just starting out to find something better.

Nowadays I get my bots/apps made for dirt cheap as opposed to 4-5 years ago and its gonna get cheaper and cheaper. More coders everyday + AI. Only the most talented will survive the AI purge.
There are many other opportunities to make big money and btw way easier than coding. Search for this forum its a goldmine.

No.. I was in my 50's when I started to learn to code, now I'm addicted to it - everything you need to know is on YouTube.
Here's my tips for noobies:
Pick a easy IDE like Pycharm
And buy a 2nd monitor, so you can have your compiler on your main and watch YouTube Videos on the other.

A good example that it’s never too late
 
The "AI" we have now isn't really "intelligent". It just repeats things. It has no intelligence of its own. The coding information it gives you was already available on the internet. Now you can just access it faster. But being able to get code without writing it yourself has been possible for several decades now. What's the difference between asking chatgpt and googling or asking on stackoverflow? It's just faster. But you could already find all of those answers. And yet, programmers continued to exist and opportunities for them continued to grow. They didn't get replaced by stackoverflow or google. And yet, you could make that same argument 20 years ago.

"Is it too late to learn coding now that people can simply google coding solutions?"

People have been using code not written by themselves for decades. AI isn't introducing anything new in that department. It's just speeding up the process.
 
Dude this is THE best time to learn coding. This is the age of AI, learning should be easier and more accessible.

I actually tried to use GPT-4 (paid ChatGPT) for coding small (up to 200 LOC) semi-trivial (solution is hard to find using Google) and my conclusion is as follows:

1) It can write code that "looks" correct.
2) That code is mostly wrong. 100% of time it won't even compile for simple reasons (using wrong variable types togather, etc.) that have nothing to do with the problem it is solving.
3) With ChatGPT you have the ability to navigate it through issues ("The code you wrote has errors in function bla bla") and while it looks like
it understands what you are saying, 3/4 of the time it either doesn't solve the issue or introduces new errors to the code.
4) While GPT-4 is advertised for having larger current context memory, in the cases I have tried, it completely deviated from the path that might bring it to the correct solution.

In any case, I am hardly impressed by it. It is like having a very junior developer on your side that didn't understand what you are asking from him at all and
just wants you to get off his back as soon as possible. No developers should feel even remotely threatened by this tech.
 
It is never too late to learn anything. If you want to improve yourself you need to have continuous education.
 
Never is too late, go and learn now, AI is not going to replace the job of a human, programmers will always be required.
 
While AI is advancing quickly, it won't be replacing all jobs anytime soon. Plus, coding is a great skill to have as it can be applied to many fields, including AI development. In fact, the demand for skilled programmers who can develop, maintain, and improve AI systems is likely to increase. So, now is a great time to start since lots of online resources are available right now , it's easier than ever to learn and develop valuable skills.
 
You can use ChatGPT to ask "Imagine I don't know anything about coding, explain what an API is."
This way you can easily understand confusing concepts that are core aspects of the language you want to learn.
ChatGPT is especially good at explaining parts of code in-depth, rather than giving complex solutions, which is why it is a great tool to use on your learning journey.

If you just ask it to code you ready solutions, you won't learn anything and won't know why the code might or might not work.
 
Robots still need a human brain to be coded. After 2050 I don't know!
