"I have no doubt we no longer need to know code syntax because AIs will be writing all the code. But these problem-solving skills, what I like to call the βengineering mindsetβ is priceless." β @adrienne
I wonder if there's a kind-of/level of thinking that can only be achieved in brains that have exercised the (hard won) muscle of <thinking-as-engineering> lens. You can only have that kind of thought, because you had all these other adjacent thoughts (loops, logic, recursions)
AND then, on the other hand, all the kinds of creative thoughts that may be excluded from you, because of all that hard-won <thinking-as-engineering> lens, and now blinder.

OpenAI's superbowl add is uplifting, inspiring, maker energy.
Anthropic's feels like snark (albeit, very beautifully produced sneer).

The value of nothing more than a folder of quality `*.md` files, and a creative angle on how to mine it, sure went through the roof a couple-a-months ago. β±οΈβ¨

Great - Ken Beck (TDD) weighing in on AI/Agent amplified engineering.
It's a "new day"...new tools, new abstraction layer-unlock. And yet the fundamentals remain the same. Out approach and cognitive toolkit just ratcheted up (hallelujah).

Also, Grady Booch weighing in on AI programming, after an excellent (first 2/3's of the interview) history of computing.
