"I warn my students:
- Yes, AI can generate the code for this assignment. Don’t let it. You have to write the code.
I explain that, if they don’t write the code, they will not be able to effectively read the code. The ability to read code is certainly going to be valuable, maybe more valuable, in an AI-based coding future."
This is 💯 the advice I'm giving young folk right now.
