First of all this is clearly AI-assist writing (being charitable here).

And the premise makes no sense anyway. The only risk of forgetting how to make shells is when other countries are making shells more efficiently. Non-western countries are not going to reject AI-coding, nor are they going to make software more efficiently by hand.

Programmers in non-western countries may not be able to afford $100 per month on vibe coding.

They may keep taking the longer and harder route of a mixture of AI and hand coding.

		The same applies to the south. It’s shocking to read tales of people spending hundreds of dollars monthly with coding agents, that’s wholly impossible for the vast majority of devs in South America, even 20 dollars is hard to justify for most households. By economic factors alone, I bet there are a lot more people learning the hard skills in places they can’t afford to be dependent on the tools.

		They'll find a way. If it's not the chiptole bot, the enormous volume of low-effort AI implementations will provide a free token layer.

If they are smart, they will. And I think they are smart.
