@jbigham I think we're going to see a need for people with actual C.S. degrees who understand the internals,
rather than people like me who are primarily self-taught & just know "how to get things done"
Especially in web development, knowing the framework won't really get you hired anymore
That's a big barrier to entry for hundreds of thousands of people who used "a computer job" as a way to get their first step up

@codebyjeff idk, it's really unintuitive to me -- i agree with what you're saying to some degree b/c it'll be so relatively easy for folks to prompt what they used to need people who "knew enough" to do, but on the other hand folks who "know enough" can probably prompt their way to some pretty complex things now
