“I encourage people to just take an online course, understand more, get your hands dirty, pair up with someone else that's in the same boat as you, because this is going to give you the skillset to understand how that tool that's going to help you in your day-t…”

“I have this that's been called not by me, dubbed as Amjad's law, which is the return on investment for learning to code is doubling every six months.”

“And first of all, the question of, you know, whether you should still learn the code, my answer would be absolutely yes. I think to a large extent, you know, computer science, when you take computer science classes and when you learn these fundamentals, sure, …”

“A lot of folks think about, oh, you know, don't bother studying computer science, or, you know, the coding is dead, and I just fundamentally disagree. If anything, I think You know, we've always had higher and higher layers of abstraction in programming. You k…”

“So now teaching kids how to code is like teaching kids basic and we have a GUI, right? You don't need to learn punch cards and basic programming because, or MS DOS, because we all have keyboards and mice. We don't have to do that. And I feel like coding has re…”

“Same thing for people inside of every, like, no one is manually coding anymore.”

“I use the analogy here of like coding is going to be like calligraphy. You writing code is going to be the equivalent of like you write, you fine printing like on, on a canvas and people are like, oh my God, you wrote that code. That's so amazing. It's going t…”

“Both Anthropic and OpenAI spent the whole of 2025 focusing all of their training efforts on coding.”

“My take, it's very clear, at least empirically that models are getting better at coding at some exponential rate, right? And I don't think that's changing. Now I'm not that impressed with the progress in any other domain. It tends to be like, I don't think the…”

“Coding is so output oriented that when you ask it to do a coding task, you can verify whether it did the task correctly or well via tests. You can try it out and see if it works. Like there is a way to validate it based on the output. But knowledge work is dif…”
