Same question I have as MD…let’s say I’m a non-programmer type but have seriously considered learning a few coding languages, at great expense of my time that could be better allocated elsewhere — if we extrapolate to 30 years from now, will all the code I learn now be not as important as ________? Do let us know your thoughts!
Add to that bring able to solve an equation – almost any equation. Formulating an equation that solves, or more likely helps to solve, a real world problem is the new marketable skill. Keith Devlin @nprmathguy
So what is going to be important in the next 30 years?
