🥴 Is it still worth learning to code in 2026? 
🔗 bertacodes.com/blog/why-learn-to-code-2026/

Learning to code is still one of the best investments you can make - but not for the reason most people give you.

Syntax is the part AI automated. Understanding how software actually works is the part it didn't 👇

📌 Companies hire people who can solve problems, not generate code. AI writes code fine. It can't explain trade-offs or take ownership of a production decision.

📌 Junior engineers are expected to review, debug, and extend AI-generated code. You can't do that without a mental model of the system.

📌 The engineers who get the most out of AI are the ones with the strongest foundations.

✅ I wrote the long version on my blog - the wall most beginners hit at month three, and the 7 concepts that don't rot:  bertacodes.com/blog/why-learn-to-code-2026/

I’ve spent enough time mentoring people in tech and around to share my thoughts on AI adoption.
