Hello Buddy!
Two things we all know: medical school will drain you, and software engineering is not child’s play.
Now imagine carrying the two on one head at the same time?
The next time your parents ask you if your mates have two heads, tell them an emphatic yes and point them to this story, because some people indeed have two heads.😂

THE BIG QUESTION
Is Coding in 2025 Still Worth It?
So I saw this conversation on X that made me pause a bit.
Now, here’s the thing:
On one hand, AI is automating a lot of coding tasks, and tons of tools are making it easier for non-developers to build apps.
On the other hand, coding is still the foundation of tech. Even if AI helps, someone still needs to know what to ask it, understand systems, and fix things when they break.
So here’s my question for you:
Do you think learning to code in 2025 is still worth it?
Or is it like buying a DVD player in the age of Netflix?
