- wrong comparison

- ever heard the word called threshold? there is always a threshold for everything in this universe

- when you say i dont need to manually do math anymore because i use a calculator, the threshold for offloading your thinking is very very low

- when you say i dont need assembly language anymore because i learnt python, once again the threshold for offloading your thinking to an external source is very very slow because you are still thinking how that program works in python

- but now you are saying here is a document that describes how the system works and let the agent generate the code

- you are not thinking at all here are you?

- even if you were to claim that writing requirement documents is a form of thought, you are still offloading the parts of your brain that were capable of translating requirement documents to code

- i can still add and subtract 6 digit numbers effortlessly and rapidly without a calculator because i stopped using one long time back

- can you say the same about the current generation of engineers 10 yrs from now?
