HN 提问：高中生——学习编程是否仍然值得？
3 分•作者: Lucaslii•28 天前
作为一名高中生，我正在努力确定自己感兴趣的专业。大约半年前，我认为电气工程与计算机科学（EECS）对像我这样的STEM（科学、技术、工程、数学）学生来说是一个很棒的专业，因为我看到许多世界上最有影响力的企业家，如埃隆·马斯克和黄仁勋，都围绕软件、硬件和人工智能建立了公司，推动了技术和社会的发展。
然而，最近我接触了各种人工智能驱动的编程工具，如Claude Code和Codex。我惊叹于这些工具的能力。它们可以生成网站，开发软件，甚至帮助解决硬件问题，还能帮助编程经验较少的人构建应用程序。在社交媒体上，我已经看到一些没有编码背景的人，他们利用AI工具创造产品并赚钱。
这段经历让我开始质疑学习编程是否仍然有价值。如果AI可以完成许多编码任务，为什么人们还要继续学习编码和计算机科学呢？在未来，比如我长大后的十年或二十年里，编码是否仍然是一项重要的技能？
与此同时，我想知道随着技术的不断发展，哪些学科领域将保持其价值。是否有受AI影响较小的专业？哪些领域将塑造下一代创新？
我个人还没有一个明确的答案。然而，我相信这是当今许多STEM学生面临的一个重要问题，因为AI的快速发展正在改变我们对教育、职业以及未来所需技能的看法。

As a high school student, I’m trying to figure out what major I’m interested in. About half a year ago, I thought EECS was a great major for some STEM students like me, because I see many of the world's most influential entrepreneurs, such as Elon Musk and Jensen Huang, have built companies around software, hardware, and artificial intelligence, helping advance technological and society.<p>Recently, however, I have been exposed to a variety of AI-powered programming tools, such as Claude Code and Codex. I was amazed by how capable these tools have become. They can generate websites, make software, even help solve hardware problems, and they can also help people with little programming experience build applications. On social media, I have already seen some people who have no coding background, but they use AI tools to create products and make money.<p>This experience has led me to question whether learning programming is still worthwhile. If AI can perform many coding tasks, why should people continue studying coding and computer science? Will coding still be an important skill in the future? like the next ten or twenty years, when I grow up.<p>At the same time, I wonder which fields of study will remain valuable as technology continues to evolve. Are there majors that are less likely to be affected by AI?Which fields will shape the next generation of innovation?<p>Personally, I do not yet have a definitive answer. However, I believe this is an important question for many STEM students today. because the rapid development of AI is changing how we think about education, careers, and the skills needed for the future.
