Google Brain founder Andrew Ng says everyone should still learn to code - but not the 'old way'
""The bar to coding is now lower than it ever has been," Ng said in a talk at Snowflake's "Build" conference on Monday. "People that code, be it CEOs and marketers, recruiters, not just software engineers, will really get more done than ones that don't.""
""Don't code by hand. Don't do the old way," he said. "Get AI to help you to code," Ng said. "And that will make people in all job functions much more productive and have more fun.""
"Ng said that computer science majors are seeing an uptick in unemployment because "universities haven't adapted the curricula fast enough for AI coding.""
AI-assisted "vibe coding" tools lower barriers to programming and make coding accessible to non-engineers such as CEOs, marketers, and recruiters. These tools enable faster, cheaper development and increase productivity across job functions by letting AI generate or assist with code instead of manual hand-coding. Demand for AI-savvy talent exceeds supply, and traditional computer science curricula have not adapted quickly enough, contributing to employment challenges for some graduates. Tech leaders and CEOs are promoting vibe coding startups and tools, framing the future workforce as a hybrid of humans and AI-powered digital assistants in enterprise work.
