No, don't stop learning programming. AI is speeding up code generation dramatically, as Elon noted, but fundamentals like logic, systems thinking, debugging, and architecture are more valuable than ever to direct AI, catch errors, and build reliable products.
For freshers: Master core CS concepts and data structures. Ship real projects fast using AI tools. Learn to integrate AI into workflows, focus on problem-solving over syntax, and pick high-demand areas like AI apps or backend systems. Those who adapt and deliver value will thrive as the field evolves.
