I asked the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, if it is still worth learning to code. With AI agents now writing more code than ever, a lot of students and junior developers are wondering if coding will become obsolete.

Satya’s answer was a lot deeper than just “yes” or “no.” He explained why conceptual understanding still matters, even when AI can help you build faster. Because if you don’t understand what the AI is doing, your name might be on a project you barely understand. That is where cognitive coverage becomes important: knowing enough to review, guide, and take ownership of the work. So if you are learning to code right now, this conversation might change how you think about your future.
