That’s fair regarding the OP, and if otherwise agree with your sentiments here.

Some other threads of conversation get intertwined here with concerns about delusional management making decisions to cut staff and reduce hiring for junior positions, on the strength of the promises by AI vendors and their paid/voluntary shills

For many like me who have encouraged sharp young people learn computers, we are watching their spirits crushed by this narrative and have a strong urge to push back — we still need new humans to learn how computer systems actually work, and if nobody is willing to pay them for work because an LLM outperforms them on those menial “rite-of-passage” types of software construction, we will find ourselves in a bad place
