And what will a $100/month barrier to do the economic mobility of aspiring software engineers?

No we are going to have a haves and haves not situation where the poor kid who wants to get a better job and get out of poverty is competing with the dude who has a $100-200/month AI subscription writing code for him.



...actually, I think it's mostly good for people to learn to code without AI first. AI is really good at simple things and often can't do hard things, but humans can't learn to do the hard things unless they learn the easy things first. This is a way in which AI is not like the internet!

I do feel AI impeding my own learning in this way and it's probably the aspect I'm most concerned about.


I’m really not talking about the learning part, I’m talking about the part where people need to be competitive in the job market.

E.g., a job interviewer in the world of AI will be asking you to perform more complex example work under the assumption that you have access to AI.
