This is a very old discussion and argument, much older than the current AI push. You’re right to a degree but also that hasn’t stopped the rise of strong minds for software development. There will always be the curious and the lazy. The curious will always want to know how things work from how the chain of events of a button click to the pixel shifts and logic gate flips to display code on a screen as well as run it. There will also always be the lazy unencumbered by such a desire for awareness who just want the magic box to do the thing. How many software devs can write in assembly? Not many.

Could this not be said for IDEs with code awareness such as M$’s intellisense, among other tools that accelerate development speed? What you are describing isn’t an AI problem, is people taking a two week bootcamp and calling themselves a software engineer.

There’s a ton of app builders out there that are basically some crypto scam wrapped around Claude (or whatever). There’s a lot of idiots pumping out code slop.
