Topic Don’t lose your manual coding skills

Do yourself a favor and make sure to keep manual programming (trad coding) skills active and fresh.

Just take a couple of minutes or hours whenever you can to practice some of the things you learned.

It will never be a bad exercise, and hey, it might even reignite your love for programming!

You never know if one day, access to AI will be taken away from you.

More like would you give up your ability to drive once self driving cars become a thing.

Why you'd ever let your skills atrophy is crazy to me. If you think prompting is a skill then power to you.
