“There is one thing they will not experience: trial and error and figuring out the right way to do things leading to deep understanding of how to structure programs.”
As someone who “programs” with Ai, I actually disagree with this point. This is actually the ONLY thing I’ve had to really learn and think about, is structuring the app to be modular and built in a way to ensure pieces can be built without conflicting with other parts of the app. And fixing intractable bugs have largely been a process of restructuring the folders, modules, and where things are called from in order to avoid the too large context or attaching processes unnecessarily so they are dependent on each other.
IMO, it means that structure and design are the core of what someone has to learn, and the monotony of particular syntax and coding details is what gets largely obscured away.
At least in my experience and limited knowledge this seems like the case.🤔

quoting note1v8h…qqfcai is minting a whole new generation of programmers. They will be dependent on machines yes, but if they never would have got into programming otherwise then maybe it’s not too bad.
There is one thing they will not experience: trial and error and figuring out the right way to do things leading to deep understanding of how to structure programs.
Instead they will just get ai to structure the program, and if something goes wrong they will get the ai to fix the structure. Code structure just becomes an artifact of the generation.
There is a shallowness to this, but maybe programming was never supposed to be a thing that humans dove deep into. It’s way too abstract and difficult to do correctly anyways.
