Thanks to the success of programming careers for last 2 decades, lots of #parents have been focusing on teaching their kids #programming
But I think it is the wrong skill to be teaching if your kids are to be successful in the next decade. What’s the right skill to teach?
It’s almost guaranteed that in a decade the rise of AI and no-code would make writing code obsolete.
Here’s a a year old video about Codex by @OpenAI
It’s insane that you can create a web page, a video game just by some written text instructions.
The pace at which #AI is growing it’s almost guaranteed that it will be easily able to take care of basic level of tasks such as generating code, writing copy, creating logos etc.
So what’s the right skill to teach kids if not programming?
IMHO it is Problem Solving. If you can recognize a problem that a group of a people have, and a find a creative solution that problem. The “how” would be taken care by AI and other innovations.
