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.
Absolutely, but they need a lot of guidance. GitHub CoPilot often writes cleaner code than I do. I’ll write the code and then ask it to clean it up for me and DRYify it.
