I like this take by @kentbeck.com on how AI-assisted programming changes the balance of which skills are most important From this interview with @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/tdd-ai-age...

Do you think the way we teach programming should change somehow?

Definitely - at the very least we need to make sure new learners have good awareness of how to use LLMs in a way that accelerates and supports their learning, which is a big topic on its own!

I'd like to see significantly more focus on architecture in software pedagogy, as that's where we still obviously shine. And maybe some more precise low level stuff, as that's "hidden knowledge" we don't want to die with the rise of vibe coding. Middle tier stuff is less relevant imo
