Learning to code is becoming essential as AI tools proliferate. Basic programming knowledge lets you build AI-enabled web apps on platforms like Replit instead of relying on no-code tools, unlocking roughly 90% of projects you can imagine.

The value of learning to code doubles every six months in this AI first world. So even the basics give you way more leverage than they did three years ago. Like, if all I knew three years ago was API structure and webhooks and like I would only be able to use workflow tools really proficiently. But now if I learn those same concepts, If I learn APIs, webhooks and like the data structure stuff that we just covered, to be able to go through this, like now I can build full web apps with a little bit more direction. That's what I've been seeing too. Like some zapier experts have started to come to repl and be able to build full AI web apps using code because they've had like the, the foundational structure that doesn't give them like the level of a CS graduate, but it was enough to like give them all the superpowers they need to basically build 90% ideas.
