alt Hacker NewsYou need to learn the concepts not implementation detail. If you know what is relational algebra and AI teaches you this in hours then you dont need to know the implementation details any longer. If you can borrow intelligence to solve a problem, you should do that. We, the most IT industry is already working in high level languages which is not how the computer works but abstractions over abstractions that very very few people know the entire cycle of a program how it runs. So AI is not a future abstracton, it is already here and its "intelligent" as opposed to other abstractions. Writing code or documentation by hand is gone, its past. All programming languages, framworks are implementation details and AI has already mastered them, we need to now move on to high goals than learning how to write a loop.

Seems like my point might not be getting through.
I apologize for being blunt, and I don't mean to sound argumentative here, I'm just trying to give you an outsider's perspective:
You should not tell people you learned more in 2 months than in 20 years.
That's all I meant.
It makes you sound crazy, and its also wrong.
Maybe you built more or you feel more capable than you have felt for 20 years, but you surely did not learn more.
I don't need to hear anything from you about how the capability of the average developer has changed. I'm well aware of that already.
I don't even disagree with you here. It's something I've said in the past about things like algorithms. Sometimes knowing a surface level thing allows you to utilise it without necessarily needing to know the implementation level details.
But you did not LEARN Relational Algebra. You learned OF relational algebra. And there's a pretty stark difference there.
