"Do not learn to code" is the worst career advice of the decade.

People are telling college students to skip Computer Science because AI will just automate it all. Andrew Ng just killed this myth at Stanford with a brilliant analogy.

When he tried to generate images with Midjourney, he typed: "make pretty pictures of robots" and got garbage.
His collaborator, however, understood Art History. He knew the exact vocabulary of lighting, genre, and palette. He spoke the "language of art," and generated masterpieces.

Andrew Ng is seeing the exact same thing happen in software engineering right now.

AI didn't replace the need to understand Computer Science. It made Computer Science the required vocabulary to control the AI.

If you don't understand how computers actually work, you are just typing "make a pretty app" into Cursor and shipping fragile, unscalable logic.

Here is Andrew Ng's exact hiring hierarchy today:

Level 1: 10 years of experience, but codes by hand (He won't hire them).
Level 2: Fresh college grad, but highly fluent in AI-assisted coding (He hires them over the 10-year veteran).
Level 3 (God Tier): Deeply understands CS fundamentals AND uses AI-assisted coding.

When humanity went from punch cards to keyboards, coding got easier, and more people coded. We are at that exact inflection point again.

AI doesn't replace fundamentals. It multiplies them.

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

[Suraj Sharma @suraj_sharma14]

Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.

The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.

AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.

And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.

We built the library.

Someone else started charging admission.

Earlier, ideas were cheap because implementation took forever. Now that implementation is basically free, we do not have enough good ideas.

[kuldeep @ku1deep]

Listen!! here is some unsolicited cheap advice if you are going to survive selling anything.

How you treat the the person saying NO will define all of your life. Almost all sales end in a NO and it costs a lot of effort time and energy to earn every person you get to ask. Treat a NO badly an you will eventually run out of energy, and people.

Every NO is selling almost always means NOT NOW. take the time young one. Come back in a few months. You wont be the same person and the answer has a different probability to be a different answer.

This is even more important if the person saying the NO is you to yourself.

Today's Telegram ban is proof of why an indigenous social media or messaging app can never grow in India.

If @durov was Indian, he would be in jail along with his entire team and his entire infrastructure seized because a question paper was supposedly leaked on Telegram. It would have taken a few months to get bail. Line of FIRs stretching to Kanyakumari. Court cases dragging on for a decade or more. TV channels would have gone to town with all kinds of consipracies of how Soros is involved.

We have vaguely written laws, open to the worst interpretation and bureaucratic overreactions. It's not a stable foundation for anyone to build on.

The same applies to now AI. Anyday someone will be offended in this country by anything an indigenous AI generates in text or images and the founders can find themselves in jail and fighting court cases.

My team loves Claude from @AnthropicAI . But this new policy of retaining prompts and usage is a red line...we simply can't give over our usage. Prompts contain our IP; literally all our design files and docs. Why would this ever have been ok?
It's sad because everyone was looking forward to using the new model. Sigh.

I flew back on oct 2nd and the machines were picked up from the factory a week later. The voyage from Gdansk Port to Chennai took nearly 2 months. I was expecting some troubles in Chennai port considered I was bringing super expensive machines at dirt cheap prices. BUT to my fortune, everything went smoothly. They levied the duties on govt mandated minimum values and released the machines in a week! Not a single problem with customs!! Everything went by the rule book! The machines then moved to Bangalore on a big ass trailer. I couldn’t sleep the night it was getting transported from Chennai to my factory here. It was 3 months of anticipation! Unloading took the whole day to place the machines in my 1st floor factory. But it was done! The babies were finally home and I slept like a baby that night!’

The reason I wanted to narrate the whole story is to share my experience of doing something which everyone thought was impossible. I was alone in a village in a country which didn’t even speak English to undertake an activity which would generally take a full team, 4 weeks and at least 20L. I managed it with 2 guys in 2 weeks and in <2L! The biggest reason the previous owner sold the machines so cheap was that he couldn’t figure out how to relocate the machines at a cheaper price. And I could manage it as a foreigner in his village and with his own people! Help came from unknown unexpected places. Strangers became my biggest support system. It was a reaffirmation to me that if there is strong enough intent, determination, honest efforts and commitment, god will help you in mysterious ways! That if you choose to, you can do anything! Impossible is nothing if you apply your mind to think how it can be made possible!

I wrote this long post in the hope that it encourages and inspires someone else to undertake such adventures in life! Life is full of possibilities if you seek them! Like that famous frank kafka quote "Der Weg entsteht im Gehen.”- The path is created by walking.
