Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare, emphasizes the importance of understanding coding fundamentals despite the rise of AI-assisted coding. In an interview, he noted that having a coding background aids in effectively leading a tech-focused company. Prince highlighted that while he doesn't code regularly, his knowledge of software engineering and legal frameworks contributes significantly to his leadership. Other industry leaders echo the sentiment that coding basics are crucial for personal development and problem-solving, reinforcing the continuing relevance of coding skills in the tech industry, particularly in security contexts.
"Even if you're not the person who has your hands on the keyboard writing the code anymore, I think a basic understanding is helpful."
"I think the same thing can be true, even if you're a coder and you're spending a lot more time supervising rather than, you know, typing."
