Your point is also valid for technical folks. I just started my career as a software engineer and that’s a real concern. We use Cursor all day long and I can’t help but think that spending our time delegating the thinking will have a terrible impact on learning.
I am much more productive than my senior colleagues when they were at my stage thanks to AI. But are my skills progressing as much as theirs did at the time ? It’s not so clear—and it’s likely they aren’t.
At a point where I am pretty sure that many developers have this fear in the back of their mind : will I be able to pass a coding interview without AI today ? Even if they were able pre-AI.
Thanks for the article Jack !
