Is It Worth Learning Coding Or Tech Skills Anymore With AI?

Is it worth learning coding or tech skills anymore with AI? there’s no point in doing anything anymore making overall jobs why do I even bother? Code with AI.I think a lot of people are feeling this way still every day it seems like a new technology or new AI tool is coming out that can replace whether it be coders, UI UX designers, product managers, or SEO individuals whatever the case may be. Can AI replace the need for coding or tech skills?

I understand why people get nervous or get scared Wendy especially when you are investing a lot of time and energy into learning something new or growing your career. It can feel very overwhelming as to whether is it even worth, it or is the right way to go. I’ve seen so many comments on my post recently about what should I learn? should I learn data science or should I learn web development? what is going to become extinct faster?

It really blows my mind I mean on the one hand I understand where you are coming from you are worried you want to learn a skill that is going to be in demand. And that is something we speak about a lot on this blog website. So I get it. On the other hand, though it’s one of those things I really try and hone in on to learn whatever you are passionate about.

You will find a way to evolve and grow. You’re looking at it from the wrong perspective, you’re looking at a perspective of survival where in reality. You will survive and you will thrive in your career by focusing on what you are truly passionate about and interested in. That aside though here are some tips that I’m going to be sharing with you today to really ensure you can kind of get the best of both worlds.

On one hand, your career will be in demand the skills that you have developed will be in demand and on the other hand you can flip the switch and really utilize AI and these tools to help you outperform all your colleagues or whatever the case may be.

One skill to staying in demand in tech or other industries

When you really look ahead think even five-ten years the number one skill to staying in demand in tech or other industries. From now starting to look ahead and think about how can you stay in demand. I’m not talking necessarily a technical skill or even a soft skill. Let’s leave skills to the side for a second here.

What makes companies hire people? at the end of the day, it’s the classic slogan we always hear which is People hire people. I know you’re probably thinking that now people hire AI but at the end of the day we still need people and nothing is more important.

The reality is oftentimes not seeing all the time but oftentimes skills aside are having that human connection. When people really enjoy speaking with you throughout the interview and can see you’re really collaborative and want to be part of their team and just an all-around good human.

Whatever that means to them they oftentimes hire that over someone who has these crazy skills. Obviously, skills are very important but putting that to the side. I’m sharing these thoughts with you because at the end of the day. You really need to take a step back we’re in this Rat Race it feels like what skill is most in demand? or what should I learn the fastest? or what is going to keep me employed? take a step back and just eliminate all skills for a second, what do people look for in really good people?

Networking is key bill building that community and support system. Now I know a lot of you or some of you are saying tip I hate networking you know why I know that because I hate networking too but it is key oftentimes when you are looking at jobs, you’ve had in the past or future jobs.

It is so much simpler to gain those jobs when you have that Network. This is something whether you like it or not that will probably be even more important as the AI and future of tech continue to evolve.

Having those connections with people because, at the end of the day, they are the ones making the decisions of who they want to hire. If you have those Ins at certain companies or are networking and really investing your time into networking, you will see it pay off. now that being said sometimes networking all the time in my opinion just is not that fun.

AI Tools To Help Your Network & Be Productive

So here are some AI tools that can help you especially when it comes to writing because a lot of times for me writing emails or just getting those conversations started is where I have that big writer’s block to even initiate a call. As I mentioned with emails it’s so difficult to even just send that email that I get writer’s block. I want to share with you tryellie.com.

Tryellie.com

I’ve been using tryellie.com on my other computer for a while now because it really helps me. I find when I want to send someone an email but I have no idea how to do and this isn’t sponsored by any of these tools. By the way, I just am obsessed with using tools to help me out. You can see here I’m on their website it’s called tryellie.com.

I’m just on their demo page so let’s do something like this hi Ellie how are you how good are you at replying to emails thanks Sam ask tryellie.com. See look how accurate this is though Sam I’m “pretty good if I do say so myself I’m here to help you with any emails you need what’s up.”

It sounds like a human wrote this which is pretty wild so tryellie.com. Let’s go back to their home page here you can install it and use it for free but then also too depending on how many emails you want to use it. You do have to purchase a license but you can install and start using it for free but what?

I really like about it too is it has different ways to responding, so respectful casual, annoyed, and interested and it really helps me even if I modify the response at least get a response out there get something on paper or even if I’m reaching out to someone get something on paper.

So whether you use tryellie.com or a different AI tool for designers to help you write emails it’s a really great way to unblock that friction for sending that first email to someone.

Lindy.ai

Alright, the other one I want to share with you about networking and really just finding time to connect with others is this personal assistant. it’s called Lindy.ai. I’ve used Lindy.ai for a few different tasks it’s still working better.

It’s still in beta format It’s really helpful for certain tasks I don’t find Lindy.ai to help me to the point where it’s actually a personal assistant per se. but I do find it helpful that the more you use this tool the more it gets to know your habits and your requests, your calendar.

You can really use it to help you do the small things such as scheduling invites, let me know when my next meeting will be. I use it for scheduling so handle it back and forth to find common availabilities so I kind of like an email writer as well.

With that also too this is really cool around pre-draft to your email. You can actually wake up with responses to some of your emails I mean that’s a dream to me wake up and this AI has already responded in draft form to the emails.

I mean that’s going to save you so much time you can also to morning anxiety, knowing that these emails have drafts already written out is huge for me. anyways. Let’s dive into or address the elephant in the room which is the great tip we’ve done in our networking where you know meeting the right people at the end of the day you still want to learn How to learn new coding or tech skills at a fast pace?

BuiltwithaIclub.com

All right one other one I wanted to share with you I mean there are tons out there. I’m trying to share different ones with you is buildwithAIclub.com.

Now this is not a free tool, let’s start off by saying that but what it does do is it’s a course that will teach you how to build no-code or low-code apps with AI. This is really interesting to me so if you go to courses here you can see say course Basics…

You will learn to build an AI web app. With a simple one-page AI web app, with Zapier and openAi building an AI dream decoder. it’s a really interesting thing to think about this new level, this new wave of technologists that are coming out that are using AI and low.

No code tools to build really quickly and I think we will see more of that progressing. This merge of so many different roles coming together.
This is another interesting tool or of course, I guess I should say that you can utilize it to really take your skills to the next level just because you do one thing today you’re in one world today as tech advances it definitely means doesn’t mean you will be doing that in two or three years you need to be open to evolving and growing in your career and skill set.
