Re: Yes, and

Hello all, I wrote this article to help students considering CS as a major.

My own son has just started university studying CS, so I have skin in this game.

I continue to believe in what I've said in this article despite being startled (like most people) by the advances in AI recently.

One thing that I have noticed since writing this article is that the most effective vibe coders are already excellent developers, which I think is in keeping with the themes I discuss here. While I do expect the amount of hand-written code to decline, I think that knowing how code (and technical systems) work is going to continue to be valuable and perhaps even more valuable. I have no crystal ball, but that's what I'm seeing right now.
