Coding Redundancy

Of course, this isn’t exactly news, but coding is largely a redundant capacity now. In times past, it was a specific skill; one that provided differentiation. Even a small understanding opened doors in a reasonably ubiquitous field like website-building, giving you a massive leg up over others who hadn’t invested in developing the same knowledge.

Now, an advanced AI like Claude creates, troubleshoots, and reimagines your code within seconds. The efficiency is incomparable to humans. Whether that is a positive development—the jury remains undecided. It has now made my life far easier on multiple occasions when trying to fix issues on my website. Equally though, it makes a previously valuable asset and pool of expertise for many pretty much obsolete. Plus, it only scratches the surface of the benign end on the AI skill-replacement continuum…
