YC CEO Garry Tan & Replit founder Amjad Masad on why learning to code is more important than ever With AI tools like ChatGPT becoming smarter, some people think coding is no longer important. “AI can write code for me, so why should I learn it?” they ask. But this idea is completely wrong, according to Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator. In fact, learning to code today gives you more power than ever. Garry says, “Knowing how to code lets you control powerful AI tools to build anything you want, anytime, on any computer.” Coding isn’t just about writing programs—it’s about using AI to make your ideas real. Amjad Masad, CEO of Replit, agrees. He says learning to code is becoming more valuable at an incredible speed. “In 2020, learning a little coding didn’t take you far because it was hard to figure things out. But now, tools like ChatGPT and Cursor make even basic coding knowledge super powerful. You can do so much more with just a little effort.” The key message? AI doesn’t replace coding—it makes it even more valuable. If you learn the basics, you’ll unlock huge opportunities and stay ahead. Start learning today, and you’ll be ready to build anything in the future. Follow me for more valuable startup insights from the world's best founders!
