Learning to code on weekends – Is it still worth it?


I work full-time in construction and spend my weekends learning to code. It’s slow but rewarding, and I’ve gained a real appreciation for how things work under the hood.

But with AI and vibe coding, I’m starting to wonder if learning to code manually is still the best path to build products.

When AI can handle most of the technical work, maybe the real skill is turning ideas into prompts.

I'm curious what other founders think. Is it still worth learning code, or is it smarter to start building products using AI?

That's a great quesiton. Here's the thing: if you dont understand how to code, how do you know what to tell the AI to do? It still relies heavily (at least for now) on your understanding of the problem and the logic behind the solution. Knowing how code works give you intuition for what's possible, what's efficient, where AI might mess up, etc. Hope that helps clear up your concern!

I think it's worth it. "Vibe coding" only gets you so far. You can prompt your way through and build an MVP without any coding experience, however if you need to add features, optimize the code, change little things or connect it to other services you will definitely need to understand how the code works to either code it yourself or tell the AI what to write.
