Do I still need to learn to code, or is prompting enough?

You no longer need syntax, but you very much need computational thinking: how to break problems down, what a database or API is, and how to read what the AI did well enough to catch nonsense. Replit's CEO says stop learning to code and start learning to think clearly with machines; Andrew Ng counters that founders who understand code direct AI far better. The pragmatic answer: build first, and let each thing that breaks teach you the concept behind it.
