I had the pleasure of speaking to students at both Duke University and Wake Forest University about the existential crisis that many of them are feeling right now: In the age of AI, is my degree worthless? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kTxZMSB9oo&t

    My answer is no! Knowing the fundamentals of how to program combined with the ability to think deeply about a problem are skills that take you from a junior dev to a senior dev, even if both of them are using AI. And you start developing these skills through your degree.
