That's another dumb thing that unfortunately some people can be led to believe. There have been parents who genuinely thought that screen time would make their kids digitally savvy and prepared for the future.

Leave them with an old Toshiba and an Ubuntu cd. Good luck kid.

Nah, a pile of PC parts and DOS and Doom floppies.

It has worked out quite well for some of them, but there's a lot of devil in the details of the implementation of that screentime that led to eg Mark Zuckerberg vs Markiplier.

Even if that were true you'd still need to be good at UX

The new claude/opus, esp, with additional skills is actually pretty decent with UX.

I do think there's value in trying out fully vibe coding some toy projects today (probably nothing real or security sensitive haha).

The AI will get better at compensating, but I think some of it's weaknesses are fundamental, and are going to be showing up in some form or another for a while yet

Ex, the AI doesn't know about what you don't tell it. There's a LOT of context we take for granted while programming (especially in a corporate environment). Recognizing what sort of context is useful to give the AI without distracting it (and under what conditions it should load/forget context), I think is going to be a very valuable skill over the next few years. That's a skill you can start building now
