> I'd say it probably depends on the kind of work you do - if the low level details are exciting then that's totally understandable. Even those who work with CRUD apps need to know things like computational complexity of standard container types, and how to pick basic data structures or choose which basic algorithms to use. Otherwise you'll end up implementing things that have an unreasonably high computational cost that will rear its head at the wrong time. > That said, AI will probably saturate most CRUD work first, which doesn't make for great job prospects. I think so too. Today's AI models excel at makeshift plumbing. The boring CRUD jobs are the first ones to go with a prompt.
