How to teach programming in the age of AI

AI for programmers is like auto tune for pop star singers. These people are generally very young, poorly experienced, suck at what they do, but can still make a lot of money. It’s all good if you are willing to spend more energy marketing yourself than programming.

If you want real skills you have to shape your brain. That means tremendous practice manually solving hard problems without a bunch of bullshit “helping” you. There is no silver bullet or magic answer. You either want to get better or look for an off ramp.
