People don't develop the ability to solve algebraic equations when they see a professor solving it on the whiteboard. That's just the introduction to the methodology. The way people develop problem solving is by solving problems themselves.

This is why everyone's thirsty for senior/staff engineers who are AI powered right now, because their entire work experience was the typical SWE experience.

I cannot wait for the industry to have a highly skilled SWE drought in the next 5 years, so I can sweep in and become the AI powered engineer who saves the day because other junior-mid SWE's outsourced their problem solving way too early, either due to falling for the "don't be left behind" narrative (which is absurd because what about people who will get into CS in 6 years from now? Do they miss some metaphorical train?) or because their manager forced them to adopt the tools.
