🖊 Writing code is easier than reading

Writing code needs learning language syntax. With AI agents even knowing syntax might not be needed in coming future. Reading code is critical.

Why ?

You might not be the only one who wrote those millions of lines of code which forms the complete system, if you need to make a change to system ( write code ), it will be crucial to navigate different parts of system sources. Understanding a given code section would need you jumping around call-sites, function definition, analyze side effects if not documented

See, the amount of effort one has to put in reading and understanding the code.

If attention is paid when writing the code, reading it can be helped.
