2 things have not changed since the advent of AI, and never will change. The first is the calculus of computation. The second is the engineering of computation. All coding is just some interesting combination of these two forms of logic.

You can learn both of these quickly to a deep level with only 2 books. For the calculus of computation, read "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" (SICP) by Abelman and Sussman. It is available for free.[0] If you understand all of this book, you understand all of the fundamentals of computer science. Every program you write from now on will be understandable to you, with enough persistence. But most importantly you will be able to think in computer programs by second nature, and communicate in this language. And when you talk to AIs in this language, they become exceedingly precise and powerful, because you lost the ambiguity in how you are conceptualizing the program.

For the engineering of computation, read "The Elements of Computing Systems" by Nisan and Schocken.[1] An abridged version of this book is available for free in the form of the Nand2Tetris course. In this course you will start with an imminently simple digital construct, and use it to build step by step a full working computer that can run Tetris. You could even write a Lisp from SICP on this computer, and pretty easily too as you'll see in SICP itself! Once you have completed both books you'll have met in the middle between abstract computer science and concrete computer science: coding.

Just like in your math class, you can see that one side of a right triangle is always longer than the others, but you cannot understand how or why or explain it or work with it until you can comprehend some simple theorems and functions, you cannot truly compose computer programs until you can speak the language of computer science. It used to be that you could make a career by copying code you saw online, patching bits and piece together to create basically working code. But that era is over. AI reads and writes and searches millions of times faster than you. But still only humans are capable of new compositions. But in order to create these new compositions you have to be able to speak a mutual language that you and the AI can understand. That language is computer science, and it hasn't changed since time began and it won't change in 10, 100 or 1,000 years from now when AI is capable of doing anything and everything better than we can. So if you want to stop struggling and start creating new and exciting things with computers, read these 2 books!
