   Education will become more important but not necessarily a CS degree. AI may soon eliminate the beginner experts. How to write code will become largely unimportant and instead how to write applications will become supremely important. If yo

   AI is not creative. So, if you lack creativity you are doomed... fully replaceable by AI. If AI can write your framework code better than you then what does your employer need you for? On the other hand AI is really bad at the same things

    Whether you are talking about boot camps or a CS program from Stanford or MIT the biggest problem is a focus on how to write code. That is basic literacy. Don't focus on that at all. A competent developer will learn that on their ow
