Someone sent a private message to Carmack : With the rise of various AI technologies, is it still necessary to learn coding skills by myself, and will I be robbed of my job by AI.

If you are unfamiliar with Carmack, he is called one of the greatest programmers in the world by Bill Gates. He co-founded the famous id Software, released a number of high-profile 3D games, and served as the chief technical consultant of Facebook. You can click here to learn more.

Carmack replied:

If you can master “product skills” across the board and use the best tool for the job (hand coding today, perhaps with the help of AI later), then you’re likely to do well.

The other party was still puzzled, and Carmack made further explanations:

Software is just a tool that helps people get things done – and many programmers never understand this. Focus on the value delivered and don’t get overly concerned with the details of the tool.


Establishing a global vision, cultivating comprehensive capabilities, focusing on delivering value, and tapping the potential of AI may be an effective way to overcome AI anxiety.
