`Geoffrey Challen, a computer scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, plans to offer a new course this fall in which he will teach students to develop software “without writing, reading, debugging, or viewing a single line of code,” he told me.`

This is "studying computer science" now? Vibe coding is easy and fun, but why spend 4 years and a small fortune to study it when practically anyone can pick it up over a weekend?

Computer Science without code is as worthless as literary study without reading. That curriculum is going to be torture.
