Any good advice for the young people out there pursuing coding?

A developer at a small AI startup, working with cutting-edge LLMs and ML R&D, was asked by a young person pursuing coding for advice. The young person expressed concern that LLMs are rapidly outpacing traditional programming skills and questioned whether to embrace "vibe-code mode" or continue learning every line of code. The developer sought advice from the community, acknowledging they had none to offer and that this concern is likely widespread among aspiring coders.

This post highlights a developer's inability to advise a young coder on navigating the rapid pace of LLM development, unlike typical advice columns that offer solutions.
