TLDR

Software engineer lauren posted that ten years learning code showed English composition as the key skill. The machine executes whatever instructions it receives, so success now hinges on forming clear thoughts and putting them into words. Replies from developers and others agreed. One noted an English literature degree proving useful in frontier tech. Another tied coding experience to logical thinking that aids precise expression. A statistician highlighted writing mastery as a longstanding advantage that now commands computer systems.

@potetoeveryone spent ten years learning to code and it turns out the terminal skill was english composition. the machine will do anything you tell it. the only thing left between you and what you want is whether you can form a clear thought and put it into words
@brubarianAs the world has been since the emergence of the written word. A command of writing, the ability to convey precise meaning, reflects gradients of mastery. The world bends to that quality. Now, you have a bounded but infinite world, in the form of computer, waiting for you to command it.
@soumya_priveThis is true btw. My English Literature degree coming in handy in the era of frontier tech
@peteystruggles10 years of syntax errors to discover the final boss is being clear what a plot twist
@JustinPerea@poteto Psychology, English, and Philosophy majors time to shine
@jamonholmgren@poteto I think learning to code helps people think more logically.
