Don't misquote me for your agenda. It's a statement about the quality of learning.

I'm presuming you don't like AI (apologies if I'm mistaken).
Just because someone doesn't like some tool doesn't mean someone can't learn using the new tool or method.
Users of an old technology often adopt a hostile disposition of a new technology that threatens their skill. To claim people can't learn at a higher level of abstraction is absurd. Kids with motivation are smart, and they will outpace the older generation.
If I had the advantage of LLMs and agentic coding when I was a teenager, I could have gone wider and deeper in my career. I'm jealous that young learners are going to be able to do more than I could at their age. I'm happy for them.
If you're using AI to vibe code, then editing the results - that's learning. Period. That's a feedback loop. And it's probably more interesting and rewarding than what we had.
