Exactly, nobody is investing in their to-be seniors and dev culture.

Expecting ai-slop to make the difference is a fairy tale told to investors and board members.

I am not against any of our new devs (or myself, a longtime dev) using ai generated code but I expect them to understand it so they can fix it and build their skillsets. I tell them that renting their dev skills from a machine will do them no favors.

I absolutely cannot wait for kids to learn about “vegetative electron microscopy”

AI absolutely cannot replace teachers.

Augment possibly but replace? No.

By augment I mean provide some help at the direction of the teacher.
