SeriouslySense:
Precisely, although Articifial intelligence is also competing, Researchers have developed, A.I Capable of making software or doing the coding. There is that danger in the future that A.I will also compete with human coders, especially in very repeatitive codes, through creation of patterns.

Well, until AI understands clients needs and specifications, I'm not even fazed cheesy
Maybe AI will eventually take over coding but surely, that's not happening in the next two lifetimes.

I started it but got frustrated together with no time . What advice could you offer me that would probably get me on my feet.
Thanks.

Don’t rush it. Try learn something on python once in a day (make sure you understand the basis). When you understand it. Then divert to the field you wanna use it in e.g I’m into networking so I use it for network automation.

AI is growing rapidly and within this decade it should start competing with humans, the availaibility of big data, mearnt AI, would have enough data to train itself, find clusters or categories, be better at deep learning, and reinforment. This means the ability of weak A.I is becomming like the theoretical Strong AI, where AI is like a person, able to meet cutomers unique demands.

Throughout my over 18 years in the IT industry... I'm yet to meet a programmer in Nigeria..

When you talk to them at first they 'be like' I program Java, I'm the C guy I'm python guy bla bla.. but when you give them a "unique" real world problem and ask them to solve it with their java or C# or PHP ...their response changes to
" oga you know I'm still learning the thing
.. not that I'm a pro yet..you know this.. you know that ...."

You know nothing Jon Snow;
You think being a programmer is when someone says "I have started learning Python, I'm learning JavaScript" blah blah blah, programming is hard bro, not everyone who dabbled with a programming language are actually able to make a career out of it and become professional programmers. It is not a profession for the average Joe.

Don't be deceived by all these comments


well said.

That AI is made by open AI they spent a couple of millions training that model on billions of scraped web information, it is going to be monetized and there are AI problems that has started to manifest in Gpt3 e.g it ability to generate close to human propaganda with just a few lines of text. With gpt 3, I understand concerned being raised by world expert on the topic.

Meanwhile, training models for an average Joe is now becoming more expensive, I hope a Nigerian start up would be able to profit out of the opportunity AI present, because this is one of the latest thing that if done correctly can lead to a unicorn and above.
Others are web 3.0, advanced genetics, robotics, electrification of vechiles, e t c

Please sir i need your resources. What free and reliable app or program for windows and android you recommend for a beginner who wish to learn html and python?
VSCODE IS PERFECT FOR YOU BUT YOU MUST FIRST DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL PYTHON ON YOUR PC. LEARNING PYTHON OR ANOTHER LANGUAGE ON PHONE IS GOOD BUT NOT RECOMMENCED.

VSCODE: https://code.visualstudio.com/download

AFTER INSTALLATION MAKE USE OF EXTENSIONS TO BEAUTIFY YOUR CODE AND MAKE CODING FASTER....

Javascript and Python

Javascript is the only programming language that gives python a run for it's money.. Most programmers don't see javascript as a very good language but why I find javascript so impressive is cos it is the language of web browsers so demand for it will remain high for the foreseeable future!
The disadvantage is it can only be used in Web development.

Python on the other hand is the fastest growing programming language in the world....It is very flexible .The only disadvantage I see in Python is you can't use it for front-end web development or front-end app development..


Python Django library can be used for both frontend and backend.

Java. I had no interest in web development so I didn't feel like taking the conventional route of html, css, js route for beginners. When I finally found the fields I was interested in, I eventually dropped it for Python.
