Why Learning to Code Is More Critical Today Than Ever ?
Do you really want AI to think for you…
and build something where hackers sneak in, steal your API keys, and leave you with a bill for thousands of dollars?
It’s already happening.
On Reddit, one dev woke up to a $10,000 bill — just because their keys got leaked.
Another set a $100 limit. Still got charged $1,100. AI didn’t care.
If you can’t code, you can’t protect yourself. You’re just handing over the keys to your life.
This is what happens when you think you can just ask AI to code for you.
You ask for Feature A, it gives you some code — maybe not exactly what you envisioned, but you run it. If you’re lucky, it works. Encouraged, you try to scale it. When issues arise, you ask AI again. By now, it’s like talking to someone with memory loss — responses become inconsistent, and you’re stuck fixing bugs.
If you persevere and get it running, you deploy. You feel accomplished. But if AI suggested exposing your API keys or overlooked security best practices, you’re at risk. Your app might function, but it’s a ticking time bomb.
Would you trust someone to build your house by asking ChatGPT how to do it…
without ever learning how to lay a brick or read…
