By “good” I mean code that is written professionally and concisely (and obviously works as intended). Apart from personal interest and understanding what the machine spits out, is there any legit reason anyone should learn advanced coding techniques? Specifically in an engineering perspective?

If not, learning how to write code seems a tad trivial now.

    I see where you’re coming from, sort of like the phrase “don’t reinvent the wheel”. However, considering ethics, that doesn’t sound far off from plagiarism.
