- VyseofArcadia 3y agoI feel like you're missing the point. If you're having a machine translate it for you, you aren't learning German. Similarly, if you're having a machine translate an English-language request into Python, you aren't learning Python. To say that, as the article says, "Professors are shifting away from syntax and emphasizing higher-level skills" essentially means "Professors have stopped teaching programing languages and have started teaching how to turn natural language problems into AI prompts." Higher-level problem solving skills are important, but I am skeptical of eschewing a lower-level foundation in favor of only teaching higher-level problem solving skills.
