The Farmer Was Replaced requires you to program a drone to automate repetitive farming tasks as you attempt to become the world's most efficient farmer. To do that, you need to use a Python-like language, which makes the game look like a fun, beginner-friendly introduction to the programming language (see our pick of the best game development software if you want to realise your own dream game).

As AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Codex become more prominent, certain aspects of coding are being automated. For instance, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said in the company's first quarter earnings call this year that over 30% of Google's code is AI-generated. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in April that for some company projects, AI writes between 20% and 30% of the code, and it's increasingly using agents to review code, as well.

Mu's core maintainers have decided to retire the project due to reduced time and resources, with many alternatives available in the beginner coding environment.

Rodrigo Girão Serrão emphasizes the importance of vocabulary versus idioms in programming, explaining how understanding idioms can elevate one's coding skills in Python.

Even in a world where AI can generate code, we will need skilled human programmers who can think critically, solve problems, and make ethical decisions.

"I strongly believe that every kid, every child, should learn coding... We should actually teach them coding in school, in the same way that we teach them physics and geography..."
