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 saw a news headline that said "learn to code" is now worse advice than "get a face tattoo." Even if knowing the minutia of code is being commoditized, you still need the intuition behind algorithmic complexity, bottlenecks, easy vs hard problems, etc. That's all still worth learning.
