Yeah, it's an interesting time we live in.
If my son ever asks me whether he should learn another language other than his mother tongue, because, anyhow, we have devices now that can do instant translation, I'll probably answer that having the tech do it for you does not remove all the other benefits of learning a language. And I hope that his personal experience learning languages will corroborate this. If it does, then I can probably also figure out a way to teach him the importance of learning how to code, even though LLMs can do a lot for you. In the same way that I had to learn my multiplication tables, even though a calculator could do it for me.
Interesting times...
This is very true for this generation of AI also. You may no longer need to be a good or even competent developer in a couple years, as fast as things are going.
This is very true, but the question is: Its fine for this generation, where are the future good developers coming from though?
There doesn't seem to be much incentive for current 3 year olds to ever learn how to actually program. Its a weird time....have we as humans ever collectively lost the ability to understand tech that we currently depend on? It seems like we are on the cusp on that....
