“Learn to code.” That three-word pejorative is perpetually on the lips and at the fingertips of internet trolls and tech bros whenever media layoffs are announced. A useless sentiment in its own right, but with the recent advent of code generating AIs, knowing the ins and outs of a programming language like Python could soon be about as useful as knowing how to fluently speak a dead language like Sanskrit. In fact, these genAIs are already helping professional software developers code faster and more effectively by…

More developers are coding with AI than you think, Stack Overflow survey finds

Out of the 90,000 respondents, 70% of all respondents use AI tools in their development process or plan to use AI tools this year.

This highlights that ChatGPT's value includes coding but is not limited to it, since professional developers are still using it. Also: How

Ohio Prisons Ban Coding Books But Allow Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’

Incarcerated people in Ohio have an easier time getting their hands on the book that founded Nazism than computer coding literature due to a series of bizarre, unequally enforced policies restricting access to certain reading materials. Nonprofits and authors speaking with The Marshall Project say the state’s confusing and overly broad screening process leads to unnecessary bans of innocuous books that could enrich or educate incarcerated people while allowing texts like Mein Kampf.What is the OneTen? | Gizmodo…
