Computer programming is, fundamentally, about two things:
Problem-solving using computers
Learning to control complexity while solving these problems
I have a hard time imagining a future where knowing how to solve problems with computers and how to control the complexity of those solutions is less valuable than it is today, so I think it will continue to be a viable career even with the advent of AI tools.
