Thanks to the success of programming careers for last 2 decades, lots of #parents have been focusing on teaching their kids #programming
But I think it is the wrong skill to be teaching if your kids are to be successful in the next decade.
What's the right skill to teach? 1/
It's almost guaranteed that in a decade the rise of AI and no-code would make writing code obsolete. Here's a a year old video about Codex by @OpenAI

It's insane that you can create a web page, a video game just by some written text instructions. 2/
The pace at which #AI is growing it's almost guaranteed that it will be easily able to take care of basic level of tasks such as generating code, writing copy, creating logos etc. 3/
So what's the right skill to teach kids if not programming?
IMHO it's #ProblemSolving. If you can recognize a problem that a group of a people have, and a find a creative solution that problem. The "how" would be taken care by AI and other innovations.
