> Your next interview won't be testing your AI skills

Not that I disagree with your overall point, but have you interviewed recently? 90% of companies I interacted with required (!) AI skills, and me telling them how exactly I "leverage" it to increase my productivity.

Are they just looking for AI skills? If so that's terrifying.

I think most are looking for both.

AI/LLM knowledge without programming knowledge can make a mess.

Programming knowledge without AI/LLM knowledge can also make a mess.

Probably, I think hand coding is going the way of the dodo and the ox cart.

		Sorry but focusing on the hand coding part misses the whole picture and would derail the conversation. Comparisons like that are often dishonest. Hiring someone who writes Rust with Claude but never written anything with it in their lives, never faced the edge cases, never took the wrong decisions feels naive to me. At the end of the day it's still a next token generator, an impressive one. It can hold context but not relate with anything outside that context. Someone needs to take accountability.
