Should You Still Learn to Code in 2026? | Shop Talk EP 102
Om avsnittet
Should you still learn to code in 2026, or is AI changing the future of programming forever?
In Shop Talk Episode 102, Dave Plummer and Glen Hodges discuss the future of software development, what new programmers should be learning, and why Dave is still building software after 40 years—even though he's no longer writing much of the code himself.
Dave also reveals how he used ChatGPT to design a 4 MB memory board for his PDP-11, explains how AI helped him regain control of a proprietary Crestron audio system, and answers viewer questions about Task Manager OG (TMOG), Windows, Linux, and retro computing.
Could a Commodore PET run PDP-Gary with just 32 KB of memory? Why do TMOG performance graphs sometimes have gaps? And should AI change how we design software?
In the second half, we tackle your questions about USB-C power delivery, dangerous electrical cables, backup generators, UPS systems, solar power, and keeping computers running during outages.
