AI Coding will Prevent Expertise – The need for friction in skill formation
We're hammering in that if you're not using AI tools, you will be "left behind" by your peers who are using them. Junior developers can work with the same gravitas and confidence as industry veterans with their "personal AI tutor". Knowing syntax is increasingly less important, and any knowledge or ambiguity gaps are filled by the AI tool.
