Anthropic CEO addressed the popular question "should you still learn to code?" He believes programming jobs will be the first replaced by AI, but that doing even 5% of the work still holds enormous value, and he recommends focusing on people-centered careers, critical thinking, and the semiconductor sector.
htmx 作者、蒙大拿州立大学计算机科学教授 Carson Gross 撰文探讨“在 AI 时代是否还应该成为程序员”，他认为编程的核心——解决问题与控制复杂性——依然有价值，但强烈警告初学者不要依赖 AI 生成代码，必须亲手写代码才能读懂代码，并指出 LLM 并不像编译器那样确定、往往引入额外的偶然复杂性。
Li Xiaolai's open-source book "Self-Teaching Is a Craft" has surpassed 17,000 stars on GitHub — it teaches programming (Python, recursion, TDD, problem decomposition) as a way to build genuine self-learning ability, making it more a learning methodology than a beginner's coding guide.
An individual questions whether early experience with Scratch, a visual programming environment for kids, has contributed to fulfilling careers in programming, noting a lack of success stories compared to game modding.
This arXiv paper presents BlockPython, a process-aware agent-supported platform designed to help learners transition from block-based to text-based Python programming through bidirectional translation and staged learning activities.
A programmer shares their experience teaching middle and high school students the Forth programming language, explaining why they chose it over Python or Scratch and how they designed a curriculum for a 12-session course.
This study compares two LLM-based tutoring approaches (Socratic guidance vs prompt refinement) for programming education, finding that Socratic guidance fosters better learning outcomes and more understanding-driven prompting strategies when students later use unconstrained LLMs.
The author, founder of Val Town, argues that learning to code remains valuable for its educational and creative benefits, not just vocational ones, even in the age of AI-assisted 'vibe coding'.
This article discusses whether computer professionals still need to learn technical skills in an era where AI can write code. The author argues that surface-level technologies like syntax and APIs are depreciating, but deeper capabilities such as algorithms, design architecture, and judgment become more important. The focus of learning should shift from beginner-level skills to the knowledge required of senior engineers.
A systematic tutorial on programming mindset, covering core definitions, problem modeling, data representation, process design, and multiple aspects of learning programming.
An open-source repository of the book "Self-Teaching Is a Craft" by Xiaolai Li, which teaches Python programming and self-learning methods in Jupyter Notebook format, emphasizing the mastery of programming skills through reading and deliberate practice.
