You are alluding to something I've been thinking about. The new AI tools are going to replace some workers and elevate others. The difference, I think, will be in how those two groups use the tools. The losers will be using them just to get a job done. Basic cut-n-paste coding. The winners will be using the tools to learn.

Jobs once said something like computers are bicycles for the mind. For me, that's an incredibly compelling idea and I've been looking for examples where it's true in my life. As a person who still really enjoys programming even after doing it for 40 years, I see LLMs as key tool for me to continue improving and learning.
