I think we’ll need to rethink what it means to be “skilled.” Fewer people will write every line of code themselves, but more will need to understand systems end-to-end, ask the right questions, and guide AIs to meaningful outcomes.
AI isn’t replacing thinking, it’s changing what we think about. Coding skill won’t disappear; it’ll just evolve.
This is the direction it was (and should be) heading in anyways. We're pumping out so many CS grads that pure technical skill is less valued than everything surrounding it.
