Everybody who sits on a stage like this would tell you it is vital that your children learn computer science and in fact It's almost exactly the opposite It is our job to create computing technology such that nobody has to program I have a controversial argument against what Jensen said this one will probably piss some people off My argument is that even if everything that Jensen predicts comes true and in the future you will be able to build a great app just by writing English, you should still learn how to code because learning how to code will literally make you smarter. We have an interesting piece of evidence for this, which is there's a lot of studies now that show that the way LLMs learn to think logically is by reading all the code in GitHub and basically learning how to code. And I think programmers have long suspected this, that learning how to code made them smarter, but it was kind of hard to prove with humans. And now we have some actual evidence that this is really true.
