Everyone should learn to code.
Opening6.7
Even with AI writing code, you need to read it to know if it is right. For example, a little code lets anyone automate boring parts of their own work. Both points lead to the same place.Opening6.7
Not everyone should learn plumbing either. Specialisation is how society works. For example, forcing code on everyone makes people hate it, the same way many hate maths. That is why I stand on this side.Rebuttal7.0
The point about boring sounds strong until you look closer. AI already writes most simple code. Time is better spent learning to describe problems clearly. My opponent skipped this, which means their case has a hole in the middle.Rebuttal7.5
You keep coming back to "writes", but that only tells half the story. Even with AI writing code, you need to read it to know if it is right. My opponent skipped this, which means their case has a hole in the middle.Closing6.7
You do not need to be a programmer. You need to not be scared of a program. Remember, even with AI writing code, you need to read it to know if it is right. The evidence points one way, and so do I.Closing6.1
Teach clear thinking. Let the dots write the syntax. Remember, aI already writes most simple code. Time is better spent learning to describe problems clearly. That is why this side should win today.
