🚀** Introduction**
In the past, coding was all about writing each line manually, remembering syntax, and spending hours debugging. However, today, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we code, enabling faster, smarter, and more creative development.
„In this blog, let’s explore how coding has evolved from the old days of manual programming to the modern AI-assisted development world, in simple words!“
🕰️ Then: Traditional Coding
👨💻 Manual Writing
Developers had to:
Remember syntax
Write functions from scratch
Search through documentation
Fix bugs manually
Example:
To sort an array, we had to write the full logic ourselves using loops and conditions.
function sortArray(arr) {
for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
for(let j = 0; j < arr.length – i – 1; j++) {
if(arr[j] > arr[j+1]) {
let temp = arr[j];
arr[j] = arr[j+1];
arr[j+1] = temp;
}
}
}
return arr;
}
🧠 Everything was in our mind
You needed strong memory and patience to build even small projects. It was tough, but it made us better thinkers.
*⚡ Now: AI + Modern Coding
*🤖 AI Assistance
Today, tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Tabnine help us:
Write code faster
Suggest auto-completions
Generate entire functions from prompts
Example using GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT:
„Sort an array in JavaScript“
You’ll instantly get the full code suggestion , even optimise
const sorted = arr.sort((a, b) => a – b);
No need to write loops manually!
🔧 Low-code / No-code Tools
Platforms like:
Webflow
Bubble
Appgyver
Let you build websites and apps without writing full code - only logic and flow.
🧠 AI in IDEs
Even your code editor (like VS Code) is getting smarter:
Error predictions
Auto code completion
Smart suggestions
📚 Skills Still Matter
AI helps us write code faster, but understanding logic, structure, and problem-solving is still important. AI is like a smart assistant, but you’re still the boss.
The Future of Coding
Coding won’t disappear - it will evolve:
Developers will write prompts + logic, not just syntax.
More focus on architecture than basic functions.
Collaboration with AI will be the new normal.
💬 Conclusion
The journey from manual, line-by-line coding to AI-powered development is amazing. As developers, we must keep learning, adapting, and using these tools to become smarter and faster.
Don’t fear AI - learn to use it well.
