Ask HN: How much coding should beginners learn in the AI era?
As someone who wants to work in tech in the future, say 5-10 years from now, to what extent do you think coding will be a valuable skill? How much should I learn?

when I ask it about Tianamen Square in English it tells me happily, but when I ask in Chinese it tells me it doesn't know anything about it. Very weird.

I quite like this question. I'm not exactly sure, but either a but in the past to get to watch the internet start, or far in the future like 4000 or something.

Do you mean the computers themselves, or those who produce them and write software for them?

Do you use Claude Code, Codex, or a different vibe coding/agentic engineering tool for most of your work? Why?

Do you think humans in the future in general will be more or less happy than they are now?

Ah, lol. Before you edited it I thought you meant you were going to see yourself commit suicide. (I assumed you were the one operating the time machine)

No, in this scenario no matter what the death would happen exactly as you see.
Ask HN: Would you want to know when and how you die?
If you had a time machine, and the only thing you could use it for was to go see yourself in the future die would you use it or not? Why or why not?
