   Our readingDismissing a subject as a waste of time because you never used its details on the job is the wrong way to think, and it is the same mistake people make about learning to code now that AI writes the loops.

   Their wordsI think a lot of the things that people might say that like oh, it was a waste of time to learn this subject cuz I didn't actually use like those details on the job. I think that's a very wrong way to think about it. And I think that's what a lot of people are doing now with AI. Like hey, what what if I'm not going to be writing for a loops a couple years from now. Um I don't think those things are a waste of time.
