Yeah, CAD has been my personal example of "oh the barrier to entry for this skill was high enough that I didn't do it and now I can be passably bad at it enough to get some simple things done"

I've had similar experiences with making simple functional parts off a 3d printer with OpenSCAD + LLMs. I'm very aware that the models are worse at it than say, generating react code, and I'm also the antithesis of a skilled pilot. It's still cool and has resulted in me starting to learn a new skill at a hobby level.

Learning to make simple parts in onshape is pretty darn easy (and fun).

Yeah. I teach this after school to 7th grade kids. Anyone can pick this up in a few hours.

They taught us to make Legobricks with CAD when I was in 6th. Wish I retained more of that and that it would be more widely taught.
