“a new paradigm for software development that you must learn or be left behind” that’s a completely inaccurate statement. Nobody is saying that you will be “left behind”. It certainly is a new paradigm but it doesn’t mean the old way of doing things won’t continue to exist. Just like there are still some problems that require code to be written in C or even assembly. Just like there are hand-made goods. The size of the opportunity is a whole different story.

I disagree - a lot of people with positions of power are unfortunately saying the “will be left behind “ bit
