No, but... is the better answer in my mind. Learning to code is a considerable commitment. It takes years to get good enough to produce professional-grade software. If you extrapolate from the improvements we've seen in coding AI over just the last 12 months, this is just a bad allocation of your time.

Instead, as the article points out, learn to become a translator between the real world and AI code generation. Learn about industries that are relatively underserved by technology. Don't build tools for developers or engineers. Learn about construction, mining, waste management, oil and gas, manufacturing, logistics, government... then become the link between that industry and AI's ability to add value.

(Emphasis on relatively underserved — all of these have high-tech versions in some places, but the future isn't distributed evenly.)
