请问HN:高中生——学习编程仍然值得吗?
作为一名高中生,我正在努力找出我感兴趣的专业。大约半年前,我认为电子工程与计算机科学(EECS)是像我这样的STEM学生的一个很好的专业,因为我看到许多世界上最有影响力的企业家,比如埃隆·马斯克和黄仁勋,都是围绕软件、硬件和人工智能建立了自己的公司,推动了技术和社会的发展。
然而,最近我接触到了一些各种各样的人工智能编程工具,比如Claude Code和Codex。我对这些工具的强大能力感到惊讶。它们可以生成网站、制作软件,甚至帮助解决硬件问题,还可以帮助那些编程经验不多的人构建应用程序。在社交媒体上,我已经看到一些没有编码背景的人,利用AI工具创造产品并赚钱。
这一经历让我开始质疑学习编程是否仍然值得。如果人工智能可以执行许多编码任务,为什么人们还应该继续学习编码和计算机科学呢?在未来的十年或二十年里,编码仍然会是一个重要的技能吗?
与此同时,我也在思考随着技术的不断发展,哪些学科将继续保持其价值。是否有一些专业不太可能受到人工智能的影响?哪些领域将塑造下一代的创新?
就我个人而言,我还没有一个明确的答案。然而,我相信这是当今许多STEM学生面临的重要问题,因为人工智能的快速发展正在改变我们对教育、职业和未来所需技能的看法。

As a high school student, I’m trying to figure out what major I’m interested in. About half a year ago, I thought EECS was a great major for some STEM students like me, because I see many of the world's most influential entrepreneurs, such as Elon Musk and Jensen Huang, have built companies around software, hardware, and artificial intelligence, helping advance technological and society.<p>Recently, however, I have been exposed to a variety of AI-powered programming tools, such as Claude Code and Codex. I was amazed by how capable these tools have become. They can generate websites, make software, even help solve hardware problems, and they can also help people with little programming experience build applications. On social media, I have already seen some people who have no coding background, but they use AI tools to create products and make money.<p>This experience has led me to question whether learning programming is still worthwhile. If AI can perform many coding tasks, why should people continue studying coding and computer science? Will coding still be an important skill in the future? like the next ten or twenty years, when I grow up.<p>At the same time, I wonder which fields of study will remain valuable as technology continues to evolve. Are there majors that are less likely to be affected by AI?Which fields will shape the next generation of innovation?<p>Personally, I do not yet have a definitive answer. However, I believe this is an important question for many STEM students today. because the rapid development of AI is changing how we think about education, careers, and the skills needed for the future.
