Original caption

People think that computer science is mainly about coding but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Computer Science is a way of thinking, it’s a way to connect systems together and being able to solve real world problems with technology. Software Engineers have always found other places to help with code, looking at stack overflow, using google. It was never about their ability to code, but their ability to think, solve problems and think in a way AI won’t ever be able to. It has never been about syntax, writing quick code, or shaky software architecture. Vibecoding is fun but that’s all it’s for, little parts of projects and demos. Real software is still built through deep understanding and experience. #softwareengineering #coding #ai #computerscience #swe
