Coding Skills Are Now Obsolete https://peertube.lagbag.com/videos/watch/6762aabb-d4e9-4551-8d34-0c21a0dcff2e What happens after AI writes the code… and validates it too? Most discussions about AI focus on replacing coding. I think that’s only the beginning. In complex systems, bottlenecks don’t disappear—they move. As AI automates more of software development, the next constraint won’t be technical. It will be human. In this episode of Thinking with AI, I explore why human agency—knowing what to build, deciding what matters, and taking responsibility for the outcome—may become the most valuable skill in software development. This isn’t a prediction about AI replacing people. It’s an invitation to think about what becomes more valuable as AI becomes more capable. Contents 00:00 – Coding was never the real bottleneck 00:21 – A law of complex systems: bottlenecks move 00:45 – Human resignation as the hidden constraint 01:01 – Staying engaged with AI 01:37 – The validation bottleneck today 02:30 – Where does the constraint move next? 03:10 – Why agency matters 04:01 – Defining human agency 04:32 – A question for the future ⸻ This video is part of the Thinking with AI playlist.
